SSC CGL - 20 July 2023 - Shift 3 • English • Q10

Select the option that can be used as a one-word substitute for the given group of words.

One who looks at the negative side of everything.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

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

A pessimist is someone who habitually sees or anticipates the worst outcome in any situation. They tend to focus on the negative aspects of events or circumstances and often have a gloomy or cynical outlook.

The other options - "racist," "activist," and "optimist" - do not accurately describe someone who consistently sees the negative side of everything.

Therefore, "pessimist" is the correct choice.
