UNTENABLE (Choose the word which is most nearly opposite in meaning to the word in capital letters)

A indefensible
B weak
C maintainable
D shaky

Correct Answer: maintainable

Untenable and its opposite tenable come to us from Old French tenir ("to hold, have possession of") and ultimately from Latin tenēre ("to hold, occupy, possess"). We tend to use untenable in situations where an idea or position is so off base that holding onto it is unjustified or inexcusable.
