SSC Stenographer - 11/12/2024 (9:00 AM to 11:00 AM) • English • Q76

Select the most appropriate synonym of the given word.
Remote

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. Aloof.

Remote means far away, distant, or emotionally detached. In the context of personality or behavior, it describes someone who is not very friendly or is emotionally distant.

Aloof has a similar meaning — it refers to someone who is reserved, detached, or emotionally distant — making it the correct synonym.

Why the other options are incorrect:

Rash means acting without thinking or being reckless — not related to the meaning of remote.

Remorse means a deep sense of regret for a wrong done — unrelated to remote.

Sociable means friendly and eager to talk to people — it’s actually the opposite of remote in a social sense.
