Given data

• Target word: COMFORT
• Options: Uncomfort; Miscomfort; Discomfort; None Of These

Concept/Approach
'Comfort' means ease, relief, physical or mental well-being. Its standard, dictionary-attested opposite is 'discomfort' (pain, unease, inconvenience). The prefixes 'un-' and 'mis-' do not form accepted antonyms here.

Why the other options are wrong
Uncomfort: nonstandard/rare; not used in formal English.Miscomfort: not a recognized word in current usage.None Of These: unnecessary because 'Discomfort' is the correct antonym.

Usage check
'These shoes provide great comfort' ↔ 'These shoes cause great discomfort'.

Memory tip
Think 'dis-' as a reversing prefix: comfort ↔ discomfort.

Final Answer
Discomfort
