SSC Stenographer 2024 PYQ — Question 24

SSC Stenographer - 11/12/2024 (12:30 PM to 2:30 PM) • English • Q24

Select the most appropriate ANTONYM of the given word.
Inquisitive

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

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

Inquisitive means “eager to learn” or “showing curiosity.”

The opposite would be uninterested, meaning “having no interest or curiosity.”

Option 1 (Dull): Means boring or not sharp — not a direct opposite of being curious.

Option 2 (Curious): Is actually a synonym, not an antonym.

Option 3 (Indolent): Means lazy — not the opposite of inquisitive, though laziness can sometimes imply lack of curiosity.
