SSC Selection Post - Matriculation Level - 20 June 2024 - Shift 1 • English • Q22

Select the option that can be used as a one-word substitute for the given group of words.
Someone who does not care about rules.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

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

Nonconformist refers to a person who does not follow established customs, rules, or traditional ways of thinking or behaving. This perfectly fits the definition of "someone who does not care about rules."

Option 2: Illegitimate – This means not lawful or not recognized by law (often used for children born outside of marriage or for unlawful actions). It does not match the meaning of ignoring rules by choice or attitude.

Option 3: Tyrant – A tyrant is a cruel and oppressive ruler, not necessarily someone who ignores rules, but rather someone who enforces their own harsh rules.

Option 4: Vampire – This is a mythical creature that drinks blood. It is not related to ignoring rules in a figurative or literal sense.
