Synonyms and Antonymsपर्यायवाची और विलोम शब्द questions and answersप्रश्न और उत्तर

Synonym and antonym questions give a word and ask for the option closest in meaning, or most opposite. They are quick marks when you know the word and a trap when you rush, because setters put the answer to the other question among the options.

How synonyms and antonyms worksपर्यायवाची और विलोम शब्द को समझिए

Almost every such question hides a pair of opposites among the options, for example “frank” and “evasive” for “candid”. One of the pair is the answer; the question decides which. Read “closest in meaning” or “opposite” twice before you pick.

If you do not know the word, use its parts and its tone. “Benevolent” starts with bene- (good), so its synonym is a kind word and its opposite is malevolent (mal- means bad).

Test the option in a sentence that uses the word. “The report was lucid” keeps its meaning with “clear” and flips with “obscure”.

Find the pair of opposites first

Use it when:कब इस्तेमाल करें: Any synonym or antonym question, even when you do not know the word.

Scan the four options for two words that are opposites of each other.
The answer is almost always one of that pair: the other two options can be struck out.
Now decide between the pair using the word’s tone or parts (bene- good, mal- bad) and whether the question asks for SAME or OPPOSITE.

Exampleउदाहरण

Closest in meaning to “Candid”: evasive, thrifty, frank, calm?

→ Frank and evasive are opposites, so the answer is one of them; candid is a positive, open word, so “frank”.

Why it works, and when it failsयह क्यों काम करती है, और कब नहीं

Why:क्यों: Setters build the trap from the word itself: they put its synonym and its opposite together so that a rushed reader picks the wrong one. That leaves the pair as the only real contenders. The check generates hundreds of questions from this topic and confirms the answer is always one of an opposite pair among the options.

Limits:सीमाएँ: In papers where every option is a near-synonym, there is no pair to find; fall back on the sentence test.

Frequently asked questionsअक्सर पूछे जाने वाले प्रश्न

How do I improve vocabulary quickly for exams?

Learn words in pairs with their opposite, and use each in one sentence. The pair is what exams test.

What if two options both seem to fit?

Pick the one that would replace the word in most sentences; the other is usually narrower or has a different tone.

Are these the only words asked?

No. This set grows over time; it starts with words that appear again and again in SSC and bank papers.
