Best Answer

A retrieval question is judt where you have to read a given text and write down, literally, what it tells you.

It is called 'retrieval' because you are showing that you have the skill to 'retrieve' information from a text, while also demonstrating that you understand the text itself.

There aren't any hidden loopholes, it isn't like an inference question (where you have to write about what the text is saying 'in between the lines'), it really is as plain as it sounds!

What is the antonym for retrieval?

The actual, legitimate opposite to retrieval is "receipt" - however, in some cases, it may be more logical to use the unofficial word "receival"... The problem of this whole situation (that of the fact that "retrieval" has no [true] antonym) lies within the unseen boundaries of the English language. As time goes on, the context in which words are used become much different (think technology) than they were when Modern English was in its early days. I believe that there are many words in the same situation as "receival" - where they are not official [dictionary defined] words, but upon their usage in today's society do not sound odd, even sounding as if they were true words. Modern English is becoming outdated, and I believe it is time for English speaking societies to collaborate and create a Post-Modern English (basically by adding words such as "receival," etc.).
