Incorrect Answerforeigners
Incorrect AnswerExplanation:
- In the sentence, "Some sick immigrants were detained at the airport," the word "immigrants" refers to people who move into a country from another place to live permanently.
- Option 1: settlers - refers to people who migrate to a new area to establish permanent residence. This is not directly opposite to "immigrants."
- Option 2: natives - means people born in a particular place or country, and they are inherently part of that place. This is the opposite of "immigrants." Correct Answer
- Option 3: vagabonds - means people who wander from place to place without a permanent home. This is unrelated to the concept of immigrants.
- Option 4: foreigners - refers to people from a different country. It is more synonymous with "immigrants" than opposite.
