SSC Stenographer - 10/12/2024 (12:30 PM to 2:30 PM) • English • Q16

Select the most appropriate ANTONYM of the underlined word in the given sentence.
The team’s performance was at its zenith in 2017.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

 The correct answer is option 1, i.e. “Nadir.”

The underlined word 'zenith' refers to the highest point or peak—either of achievement or position.

The exact antonym of “zenith” is “nadir,” which denotes the lowest point.

Why the other options are incorrect:

Sneak – Unrelated; refers to moving stealthily, not an opposite of “zenith.”

Peak and Height – Synonyms of “zenith,” not antonyms.
