SSC Stenographer 2024 PYQ — Question 77

SSC Stenographer - 10/12/2024 (12:30 PM to 2:30 PM) • English • Q77

Select the most appropriate ANTONYM of the given word.
Inclusion

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

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

The word 'Inclusion' means the act of including or being included within a group, system, or structure.

The antonym (opposite) of inclusion would be something that means 'leaving out' or 'excluding'—and that is exactly what omission means.

Omission = the act of leaving out or excluding.

Hence, Omission is the most appropriate antonym.

Option 1: Accrual – means gradual accumulation or increase, usually of money or benefits. Not related to inclusion.

Option 3: Gain – refers to obtaining or getting something. It's not the opposite of inclusion.

Option 4: Boost – means an increase or improvement, not the opposite of inclusion.
