The word “anarchy” means a state of disorder, lawlessness, or lack of government control. It describes situations where there is no authority, resulting in chaos and confusion. Understanding its meaning helps us identify the correct opposite or antonym.

The antonym of “anarchy” should convey the idea of order, stability, and regulated governance. Among the options:

• Unrest implies disturbance or conflict, which is similar to disorder.

• Instability also reflects lack of stability, which is aligned with chaos.

• Peace signifies calm, order, and absence of conflict, making it the exact opposite of disorder.

• Lawlessness literally means absence of law, which is synonymous with anarchy.

Therefore, the correct answer is Peace, because it represents harmony, order, and stability, which is the direct opposite of the disorder implied by anarchy.

In real-life contexts, anarchy occurs during political collapse, failed governance, or civil unrest, whereas peace exists in well-governed, law-abiding societies. Recognizing antonyms in vocabulary not only improves language skills but also helps understand concepts clearly, especially in English examinations for Bangladeshi students.

By memorizing such words and their opposites, students can enhance their reading comprehension and writing skills. For instance, in exam sentences:

• “During anarchy, citizens suffered due to chaos.”

• “The nation enjoyed peace after the government restored order.”

This contrast demonstrates why peace is the antonym of anarchy.
