SSC Selection Post - Matriculation Level 2022 - 2 Feb 2022 - Shift 3 • English • Q17

Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blank.
Electric gadgets make house chores ______.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. convenient.

Context: The sentence is about the impact of electric gadgets on household chores. The word required should imply ease or simplicity.

Meaning of the words:
Helpful: Assisting or giving aid, but not necessarily about making something easier.
Suitable: Appropriate or fitting for a purpose, but doesn’t imply ease.
Handy: Useful and accessible, but slightly informal and less precise here.
Convenient: Fitting well with one’s needs or plans, making tasks easier with little effort or difficulty.

Correct word: Convenient

Reason: “Convenient” directly conveys the intended idea — that electric gadgets make daily chores easier and more manageable. It is more appropriate than “handy” in formal tone.

Final Sentence: Electric gadgets make house chores convenient.

Hence the chosen option is correct.
