    Do the words flammable and inflammable have the same or opposite meaning?

    • A.

      Same

    • B.

      Opposite

    Correct Answer
    A. Same
    Explanation
    The words "flammable" and "inflammable" have the same meaning. Both words are used to describe materials that are easily set on fire or capable of burning. The prefix "in-" in "inflammable" does not indicate negation in this case, but rather serves as an intensifier. Therefore, both words can be used interchangeably to convey the same concept of something being easily ignited or capable of catching fire.
