The antonym of “Yoke” is:

A. Freedom
B. Chain
C. Bond
D. Harness
Correct Answer: A. Freedom

The word yoke primarily refers to a wooden bar joining two animals, often oxen, for drawing a load, or a frame fitted to a person's shoulders for carrying pails. Metaphorically, it signifies something that binds, connects, or imposes servitude and restriction.

  • A: Freedom is the correct antonym. Since 'yoke' implies being bound, controlled, or in servitude, 'freedom' directly opposes this by signifying liberation, independence, and the absence of restraint.
  • B: Chain is a series of connected links used for fastening or securing. It is a synonym or closely related concept to 'yoke' in its sense of binding or restriction.
  • C: Bond refers to a tie, link, or connection, often implying restriction or obligation. This makes it a synonym or related term, not an antonym.
  • D: Harness is a set of straps used to control an animal or secure a person. It serves a similar function to a yoke in terms of control and connection, thus it is not an antonym.
