SSC CPO - 9 Nov 2022 - Shift 1 • English • Q18

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

Profitable, yielding financial gain

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

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

"Ludicrous" means ridiculous or absurd, "luddite" refers to a person opposed to new technology or innovation, and "lugger" is a type of boat. However, "lucrative" directly captures the meaning of being profitable and yielding financial gain. It describes something that is highly profitable or advantageous in terms of financial returns. Therefore, "lucrative" is the most appropriate one-word substitute for the given group of words.
