SSC CPO - 10 Dec 2025 - Shift 1 • English • Q168

Select the most appropriate antonym of the given word.
Intransigence

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The word “intransigence” means:

stubborn refusal to change one’s views

unwillingness to compromise

So its opposite (antonym) is:

compromise = willingness to adjust or find middle ground

Why others are incorrect:

Obstinacy (same meaning: stubbornness)

Defiance (resistance, not opposite)

Rigidity (similar meaning)

Hindi meaning:

Intransigence = हठ / जिद

Compromise = समझौता
