SSC Stenographer - 13 Oct 2023 - Shift 3 • English • Q27

Back to paper

Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blank.
There was utter _________ after the explosion.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

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

  • The most appropriate word is "mayhem" because it accurately describes the state of chaos or disorder that typically follows an explosion. "Mayhem" conveys a sense of confusion and disorder, which fits the context perfectly.

  • The other options do not match the context:

    • "Pacifism" refers to the avoidance of violence, not a state following an explosion.
    • "Belting" is unrelated to the aftermath of an explosion.
    • "Force" is too vague and does not specifically denote chaos or confusion.
