SSC Stenographer 2024 PYQ — Question 78

SSC Stenographer - 10/12/2024 (12:30 PM to 2:30 PM) • English • Q78

Identify the most appropriate ANTONYM of the given word.
Fathomable

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

 The correct answer is option 4 i.e. Incoherent.

The word “fathomable” means understandable or able to be comprehended.

So, the antonym (opposite) of fathomable should be something that means “not understandable” — and that is what incoherent means.

Incoherent = not clear or difficult to understand; lacking clarity or logic.

Why the other options are incorrect:
Option 1: Incite –
means to provoke or stir up (especially violent behavior); not related to understanding.

Option 2: Inartistic – means lacking artistic quality or taste; unrelated to understanding or comprehension.

Option 3: Inauspicious – means not favorable or unlucky; again, not related to the idea of being understandable.
