SSC CPO 2023 PYQ — Question 31

SSC CPO - 03 Oct 2023 - Shift 3 • English • Q31

Select the most appropriate meaning of the underlined word.

We shouldn't blame or envy anyone.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. Jealously 

The most appropriate meaning of the underlined word "envy" is "jealousy." In the context of the sentence, "envy" refers to the feeling of wanting what someone else has, which is synonymous with jealousy. The other options—love, curse, and reap—do not fit the context of feeling a negative emotion towards someone due to their possessions or achievements. "Love" implies a positive emotion, "curse" suggests wishing harm upon someone, and "reap" means to harvest or gather, none of which align with the meaning of "envy."
