SSC CGL 2024 PYQ — Question 17

SSC CGL - 23 Sep 2024 - Shift 2 • English • Q17

Identify the most appropriate ANTONYM of the underlined word in the given sentence.

Lady Stranleigh continued to smile at him brilliantly.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. Dimly.

 

The word "brilliantly" means "brightly" or "with great luster or intensity." Its opposite would be "dimly," which means "with little brightness or intensity."

The other options don’t represent an antonym:

"Brightly" is synonymous, not opposite.

"Cunningly" refers to cleverness or deceit, unrelated to brightness.

"Strangely" refers to oddness, not brightness.
