SSC CGL - 19 Sep 2024 - Shift 1 • English • Q24

Select the most appropriate ANTONYM of the underlined word.
Evenings get dark very early in this cold weather.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. Bright.

The word "dark" refers to the absence of light or brightness.

Its antonym, "bright," refers to the presence of a lot of light or vividness, making it the most appropriate opposite.

The other options—"shadowy," "dim," and "gloomy"—also convey a lack of light or a somber atmosphere, which align with "dark" rather than opposing it.
