Question

Choose the word which is the exact OPPOSITE of the given word.
EXODUS

• A. Influx
• B. Home-coming
• C. Return
• D. Restoration

Hint:

Exodus is a MASS departure; its true opposite needs to match that scale — a mass arrival, i.e. “influx”.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Since “exodus” specifically implies a large-scale movement, the correct opposite should also describe a large-scale movement, just in the reverse direction.

1. “Exodus” = a mass movement OUT of a place.
2. “Home-coming” and “return” describe movement back to a place, but typically for an individual, not a mass movement, so they are close in direction but not matched in scale.
3. “Restoration” is unrelated, describing repair or recovery, not movement of people at all.
4. “Influx” = a mass movement INTO a place, matching “exodus” in scale while reversing the direction.

So the correct answer is option A, influx.
