What is the opposite of 'leveling'?

Balancing
Flattening
Canting
Stabilizing

The correct answer is: Canting

The term "leveling" generally refers to making a surface flat or even, often in the context of construction, surveying, or achieving a certain degree of stability. In this context, "canting" refers to tilting or slanting something, which directly opposes the notion of leveling by introducing an angle or slope rather than maintaining a flat or even state. This contrast illustrates how leveling seeks to eliminate any inclines, whereas canting embraces them, clearly making it the opposite concept. The other terms like balancing, flattening, and stabilizing, while related to concepts of evenness or support, do not specifically capture the direct opposition to leveling in the same way that canting does, as they do not inherently imply a deviation from an even surface.
