SSC CHSL 2024 PYQ — Question 11

SSC CHSL - 11 July 2024 - Shift 3 • English • Q11

Select the most appropriate ANTONYM of the given word.
Queer

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

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

 

The correct antonym of "queer" is "ordinary" because queer means strange, unusual, or unconventional, while ordinary means normal, common, or usual.

The two words are direct opposites in terms of describing something typical versus something odd.

The other options don’t work because:

Doubtful relates to uncertainty, not strangeness.

Fantastic means extraordinary, which isn’t the opposite of queer.

Eccentric means unconventional or peculiar, which is similar to queer, not opposite.
