Select the opposite of the given word: Magnify  

'Magnify' is a verb that implies 'to make (anything) appear larger than it is. It is the inverse of the verb "reduce," which means "to diminish in amount, degree, or size." Choice A is the correct answer since the two phrases have diametrically opposing meanings.
'Induce' means to 'succeed in convincing or leading (someone) to do something.'
'Produce' is a verb that implies 'to make or manufacture from components or raw materials.'

'Destroy' is a verb that implies 'to cease the existence of (anything) by harming or attacking it.'

Choices B, C, and D are erroneous since they have very different connotations from the word amplify.
