1. Which word is the opposite of "first"?

Explanation

The word "last" is the opposite of "first" because "first" refers to being the initial or earliest in a sequence, while "last" refers to being the final or latest in a sequence. Therefore, "last" is the opposite of "first" as it represents the end or conclusion of something, rather than the beginning.
