SSC CPO 2024 PYQ — Question 50

SSC CPO Tier II - 8 Jan 2024 • English • Q50

Select the most appropriate antonym of the given word.

FASTIDIOUS

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 4 i.e. indifferent.

"Indifferent" is the most appropriate antonym for "fastidious" because it directly contrasts with the idea of being meticulous and highly attentive to detail.

While "fastidious" denotes a high level of care and precision, "indifferent" signifies a lack of concern or interest, which is the opposite of being meticulous or attentive.

The other options, such as difficult, fussy, and critical, do not effectively oppose the precise and detail-oriented nature implied by "fastidious."
