SSC CHSL - 01 July 2024 - Shift 1 • English • Q15

Select the most appropriate ANTONYM of the underlined word.

Would you please support me for once in your life?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

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

Refute is a suitable antonym for support.

Support is a term for helping or upholding something.

Refute is the opposite of supporting or assisting; it is the act of proving something to be false or incorrect.

In other words, when you ask for support, you're asking for help or approval. Contrarily, refuting means opposing or disproving; it is the reverse of offering support.

Compared to other options:

Establish: It is a word that is used to create or set something up; it is not the antonym as supporting.

Document: It refers to recording or offering proof that does not contradict the idea being supported.

Disclaim: It is a word that denotes rejecting or denying responsibility; it may be connected to but is not the exact opposite of "refute."
