SSC CGL 2023 PYQ — Question 8

SSC CGL - 20 July 2023 - Shift 3 • English • Q8

Select the most appropriate ANTONYM of the underlined word.

Heavy outfits make the movement of trekkers sluggish.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. Active.

"Sluggish" means slow or lacking in energy, whereas "active" represents the opposite, indicating movement or energy.

In the context of the sentence, "heavy outfits" are causing the trekkers to move slowly or sluggishly.

Therefore, the antonym "active" accurately contrasts with "sluggish," conveying the idea of quick and energetic movement.

The other options - "eye-catching," "comfortable," and "distorted" - do not serve as antonyms for "sluggish" in this context.

Hence, "active" is the correct choice.
