SSC CGL 2023 PYQ — Question 4

SSC CGL - 26 Jul 2023 - Shift 1 • English • Q4

Select the most appropriate ANTONYM of the underlined word.

We lived a very frugal life during our childhood.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. Extravagant.

The word "frugal" implies simplicity, moderation, and restraint in spending or consumption.

"Extravagant," on the other hand, suggests abundance, luxury, and opulence, often involving spending large amounts of money on non-essential items or experiences.

Therefore, "extravagant" is an appropriate antonym for "frugal" because it directly contrasts the idea of being economical and sparing with that of being lavish and spending freely.
