SSC GD 2024 PYQ — Question 14

SSC GD Const (English) - 22 Feb 2024 - Shift 3 • English • Q14

Choose the word that is opposite in meaning to the given word.

Apart

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. Nearby.

The word "apart" means being separated or at a distance from something or someone. Its opposite would describe being close or in proximity to something.

"Nearby" means close or near, which directly contrasts with "apart," where things are far or separated.

The other options—"contaminated," "contagious," and "huge", relate to different concepts (e.g., contamination or size), making "nearby" the correct antonym.
