SSC CGL 2024 PYQ — Question 16

SSC CGL - 19 Sep 2024 - Shift 1 • English • Q16

Select the most appropriate synonym of the given word.
Determined

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

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

 

The synonym "resolute" is the best choice because it shares the same meaning as "determined"—both describe someone who is firm, unwavering, and purposeful in their actions or decisions.

The other options are inappropriate:

"Hesitant" and "faltering" imply doubt or a lack of resolve, which are direct opposites of "determined."

"Loathe" means to strongly dislike or feel disgusted, which is unrelated to determination.
