SSC GD Constable (English) - 10 Jan 2023 - Shift 1 • English • Q15

Back to paper

Select the most appropriate option that can substitute the underlined segment in the given sentence.

I regarded my brother on passing his graduation examination.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1  i.e. congratulated.

  1. Congratulate means to express praise, approval, or good wishes for someone's achievements.

  2. Disparage means to criticize someone or something. It's the opposite of what the sentence is trying to convey.

  3. To "flatter" means to excessively praise someone, often insincerely, to gain favor or to manipulate. This word doesn't fit the context, as it doesn't convey the idea of offering congratulations.

  4. Kowtowed refers to an act of extreme respect, showing submission. It doesn't fit the context of offering congratulations to the brother.
