SSC CGL - 26 Sep 2024 - Shift 3 • English • Q16

Select the most appropriate synonym of the word in brackets to fill in the blank.
She __________ requested him to pay the bills. (persistently)

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

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

Continuously is the best synonym for "persistently" because both words suggest an action being repeated or done without stopping.

When someone "persistently" requests something, it means they keep asking over time, just as if they were doing so "continuously."

Impetuously means acting quickly and without thinking.

Obliviously means being unaware of something.

Tremendously means to a great extent.
