SSC CGL 2023 PYQ — Question 70

SSC CGL Tier II - 26 October 2023 • English • Q70

Read the given sentence carefully and fill in the blank by selecting the correct synonym of the word given in the brackets.

The authority refused to pay any heed to the _________ demands made by the workers. (Trivial)

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. insignificant.

The correct synonym for "trivial" is "insignificant". This is because "insignificant" means something of little importance or value, which matches the meaning of "trivial."

The other options are incorrect: "conceited" refers to an excessive opinion of oneself, "idiotic" means extremely foolish, and "majestic" denotes grandeur, none of which fit the context of minor or unimportant demands.
