SSC GD Const (English) - 22 Feb 2024 - Shift 3 • English • Q17

Choose the most appropriate synonym of the underlined word.

I have known you for a long time, and possess the most circumstantial details about the plans you were devising.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. Certain.

In the sentence, "circumstantial" refers to specific, detailed information, and the word "certain" is the most appropriate synonym because it means specific or definite, which aligns with the meaning of "circumstantial" in this context.

"Certain details" implies clear, specific details, similar to "circumstantial details."

On the other hand, "coincidental" refers to events happening by chance, which does not fit the context of possessing specific, detailed information.

Therefore, "certain" is the correct choice.
