SSC CPO - 28 June 2024 - Shift 1 • English • Q11

Select the most appropriate synonym of the given word.

Dainty

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

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

"Dainty" describes something delicate, fine, and graceful. "Elegant" similarly conveys a sense of refined beauty and grace, making it a fitting synonym.

The alternatives—vulgar, which implies crudeness or a lack of sophistication; fine, which comes close but fails to convey the full sense of gracefulness; and sable, referring to a type of fur or a dark color—do not quite encompass the delicate connotation of "dainty."
