Option 1: Rendezvous
Option 2: Engagement
Option 3: Date
Option 4: Separation
Correct Answer: Separation
Solution : The correct option will be the fourth option.
The word " tryst " typically refers to a secret meeting or rendezvous, often associated with lovers. In the context of the sentence, the person is going back to the tree where a significant or secretive meeting took place. The antonym " separation " implies moving away or apart from someone or something, which contrasts with the idea of coming back to a location associated with a meeting or rendezvous.
The meanings of the other words are:
Rendezvous:
It means a prearranged meeting or gathering.
Engagement:
It denotes a formal agreement to get married or involvement in an activity.
Date:
It denotes a social or romantic appointment or a day of the month.
Therefore, separation provides a suitable antonym to convey the opposite meaning in this context.
