What is the opposite of "same" in relation to "spiteful"?

Different
Identical
Similar
Comparable

The correct answer is: Different

The opposite of "same" is "different," which highlights a contrasting relationship. In the context of "spiteful," if we consider actions or behaviors, something that is different would suggest it does not share the same qualities or intentions. For instance, a spiteful action is intended to harm or show malice, while a different action could encompass kindness or neutrality, thus clearly separating them in meaning. Identical, similar, and comparable suggest a degree of likeness or commonality, which does not align with the concept of being opposite to "same." Identical refers to being exactly alike, similar indicates a resemblance, and comparable suggests that two things can be assessed against each other due to some shared characteristics. Since the question seeks an opposite of "same," which implies a lack of similarity or commonality, "different" is the most accurate choice.
