SSC Stenographer 2023 PYQ — Question 45

SSC Stenographer - 13 Oct 2023 - Shift 3 • English • Q45

Select the most appropriate ANTONYM of the given word.
Collapse

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

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

  • "Collapse" means to fall down or fail, so its antonym is "flourish," which means to thrive or prosper.
  • "Flourish" directly contrasts with the idea of collapsing, representing growth and success rather than failure.
  • The other options—"collaborate," "flounder," and "slip"—do not provide a direct opposite to "collapse."
