SSC CGL - 24 July 2023 - Shift 1 • English • Q12

Select the most appropriate ANTONYM of the underlined word.

She is a veteran journalist known for her powerful writing style.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

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

Veteran refers to someone who has a lot of experience in a particular field, typically implying expertise and long-term involvement.

Novice refers to someone who is new to a particular activity, field, or role, lacking experience and often still learning.

In the context of the sentence, describing a journalist as a "veteran" implies they have extensive experience and skill.

Therefore, the opposite of a "veteran" journalist would be a "novice" journalist, someone who is just starting out and has limited experience.
