SSC Stenographer 2024 PYQ — Question 25

SSC Stenographer - 10/12/2024 (4:30 PM to 6:30 PM) • English • Q25

Replace the underlined word in the given sentence with the most appropriate synonym from the options listed below.
Morality is contextual; therefore, it is foolish to believe that one’s moral judgement would be perfect and immaculate .

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. impeccable.

The underlined word is 'immaculate', which means:

Perfect, flawless, or free from any fault or impurity.

We need to replace it with a word that means the same (i.e., a synonym).

Let’s go through the options:

 Impeccable – Means perfect, without any faults, or flawless.
 It is the best synonym for 'immaculate'.

 Grubby – Means dirty or unclean. Opposite in meaning. Not a synonym.

 Indelicate – Means tactless, insensitive, or coarse. Not related in meaning.

 Tarnished – Means damaged, stained, or tainted. Again, it is opposite to “immaculate”.
