Goldust Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 I guess they are somewhat like antonyms. Dire = desperate. So, the difference may be in something like a comprehensive plan and a desperate plan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makumajon Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 Sounds convincing. Overall, the question stem is one of not strong type. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. If you are in a dire situation, you would abandon a comprehensive analysis of your options. This is one of those loosely related relationships, where it's not a perfect antonym but they still appear to be opposites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KBTA Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 IMO , Something comprehensive ( such as exams) are generally left us with dire feeling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
