SSC CGL - 25 July 2023 - Shift 4 • English • Q2

Select the most appropriate synonym of the given word.
Extinct

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. Vanished.

"Vanished" is the most appropriate synonym for "extinct" because both words imply something that no longer exists.

"Extinct" refers to a species that has died out completely, and "vanished" means something that has disappeared or is no longer present.

The other options—"vibrant," "active," and "living"—all imply the presence or continuation of life or activity, which is the opposite of "extinct."
