What is the opposite of 'facilitate'?

  1. Assist

  2. Complicate

  3. Promote

  4. Enable

The correct answer is: Complicate

The term 'facilitate' means to make a process easier or more convenient. Therefore, the opposite of facilitating would entail making something more difficult or complex. Choosing 'complicate' as the opposite directly reflects this concept, as to complicate something increases its difficulty or hinders a smooth process. In contrast, 'assist,' 'promote,' and 'enable' all imply helping or supporting in some way, which aligns with the meaning of 'facilitate' and does not serve as oppositional terms. Therefore, 'complicate' effectively captures the essence of doing the opposite of facilitating.
