SSC CHSL - 14 Nov 2025 - Shift 3 • English • Q17

Select the most appropriate antonym of the word: Connive

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The word "connive" means to secretly allow or conspire to do something considered illegal or harmful.

The most appropriate antonym is "oppose," which means to actively resist or be against something.

"Support" is closer to a synonym in a general sense of agreement, while "motivate" and "reject" are not direct opposites in the context of a secret plot or scheme.
