SSC MTS - 17 Feb 2026 - Shift 2 • English • Q73

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

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Vulnerable: This word describes someone or something that is exposed to the possibility of being attacked or harmed, either physically or emotionally.

Strong: This is an antonym (opposite). Someone who is strong is generally not considered vulnerable.

Defenseless: This is the correct synonym. To be defenseless means to be without protection or support which directly matches the meaning of being vulnerable.
