SSC MTS 2026 PYQ — Question 73

SSC MTS - 13 Feb 2026 - Shift 3 • English • Q73

Choose the word that is the antonym of Grant.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Grant means to agree to give, allow, or admit something (e.g., "to grant a request" or "to grant permission").

Refuse means to indicate that one is not willing to do, accept, or give something. It is the direct opposite of allowing or giving.

Therefore, ‘refuse’ is an antonym of ‘grant’.

‘Allow’, ‘bestow’ and ‘give’ are synonyms of ‘grant’.
