What is the opposite of "supplement"?

Complement
Enhance
Supplant
Boost

The correct answer is: Supplant

The term "supplement" refers to something that is added to enhance or complete something else. In this context, the opposite of "supplement" can be understood as something that replaces or takes the place of what is being supplemented. "Supplant" fits this definition perfectly, as it means to replace or displace something, making it the correct choice. The other terms, while related to improvement or addition, do not convey the notion of replacement. "Complement" refers to something that completes or goes well with something else, rather than replacing it. "Enhance" means to improve or augment, which aligns more with adding value rather than taking away. "Boost" typically means to increase or improve something, again focusing on enhancement rather than replacement. Therefore, "supplant" accurately captures the idea of negating the need for a supplement by replacing it.
