The word "dispose" is not an antonym of another word created by adding the prefix "dis-".

Key Points

  • "Displease" is the opposite of "please".
  • "Disorganise" is the opposite of "organise".
  • "Dispossess" is the opposite of "possess".
  • However, "dispose" doesn't work the same way.
  • There is no word "pose" that carries a meaning which would be negated by "dispose".
  • Dispose generally means to get rid of something or to deal with a matter conclusively.

So, the answer is 2) Dispose.
