Text from reading passage:

Antonyms are words that mean the opposite of one another. Antonyms are used to help describe objects and subjects. You probably already know a few antonyms.

Can you name two antonyms you know?

Some words have more than one antonym.

Big, large, hefty, and huge are antonyms of small, tiny, and little.

Other words have only one obvious antonym.

For example:

He looks up.

He looks down.

There may be other antonyms for up. Down was the best answer. You know the opposite of up is down without having to think too hard.
