SSC MTS - 16 Feb 2026 - Shift 3 • English • Q71

Choose the word that is the most appropriate synonym of the word probably.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

"Probably" means that something is very possible or expected to happen.

"Likely" has the exact same meaning, indicating a high probability or a strong chance.

If you say "It will probably rain," it means the same thing as "It is likely to rain."

Therefore, ‘likely’ is the most appropriate synonym of the word ‘probably’.
