SSC CHSL - 11 July 2024 - Shift 1 • English • Q2

Select the most appropriate synonym of ‘amazement’ to fill the blank.

Leena was filled with _______ when she saw the diamond ring as her wedding gift.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

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

Both "amazement" and "astonishment" convey a sense of surprise or wonder, making "astonishment" the best fit in this context.

The other options—"happiness" (joy or pleasure), "measurement" (referring to size or quantity), and "haughtiness" (arrogance or pride)—do not match the meaning of "amazement."
