SSC CGL 2024 PYQ — Question 8

SSC CGL - 25 Sep 2024 - Shift 2 • English • Q8

Select the most appropriate ANTONYM of the word in the brackets to fill in the blank.

The pool was too ______ at this end for kids to play. [SHALLOW]

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. deep.

The word "shallow" means having little depth. The opposite of shallow in the context of a pool is "deep", meaning a greater depth, which would make it unsuitable for kids to play.

The other options don't fit:

Green and Blue: Refer to colors, unrelated to depth.

Cold: Refers to temperature, not depth.
