SSC Selection Post 2019 PYQ — Question 10

SSC Selection Post - Matriculation Level 2019 - 17 Jan 2019 - Shift 1 • English • Q10

Fill in the blank with the most suitable word.

A teacher who teaches younger children should have _____________patience.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1, i.e. infinite.

Context: The sentence talks about a teacher handling younger children, which means the teacher must have a lot of patience or endless patience.

Meaning of the words:
Infinite – Without any limit, endless
Indefinite – Not clearly fixed or known
Inclusive – Covering all or including everything
Independent – Free or self-reliant

Correct word: Infinite is the correct word here because it means endless, which perfectly fits the idea of the huge amount of patience needed to teach small children.

Reason: We say “infinite patience” to express that someone has unlimited patience. The other options do not fit the context.

Final Sentence: A teacher who teaches younger children should have infinite patience.

Hence, the chosen option is correct.
