SSC CHSL - 11 July 2024 - Shift 3 • English • Q1

Select the most appropriate ANTONYM of the underlined word.
I left the job because of a hostile working environment.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

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

 

Hostile means unfriendly or antagonistic, so the opposite would be friendly, which means welcoming or kind.

The other options don't fit in this context:

Morose means gloomy or sullen, not the opposite of hostile.

Rustic refers to the countryside or rural, which is unrelated.

Violent refers to physical force or aggression, which isn't the opposite of hostile.
