Answer: Failure.
The idea
Reject related words that are not opposites: contest and effort belong to the same field but sit on no opposing axis.
Shortcut. Triumph is a win, so the antonym must name a loss; only failure does.
Common trap. "Success" — the synonym of triumph, picked when the word 'opposite' is missed.
