SSC CGL 2019 PYQ — Question 15

SSC CGL - 4th June 2019 - Shift 1 • English • Q15

Select the most appropriate word to fill in the blank.

His company has the ______ of producing the best cricket balls in the country. 

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

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

Explanation:

  • Reputation means the beliefs or opinions that are generally held about someone or something.
  • The sentence implies that it is believed that his company produces the best cricket balls in the country.
  • This context best takes the word ‘reputation’ (good name) as here we are talking about a specific characteristic that belongs to the company stated in the sentence.
  • ‘Opinion’, ‘brand’ and ‘position’ do not relate to the given context; so they can be eliminated.

Hence, the chosen option is correct.
