SSC CGL 2023 PYQ — Question 11

SSC CGL - 20 July 2023 - Shift 3 • English • Q11

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

Waver between different opinions or actions.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

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

"Vacillate" precisely captures the idea of indecision or hesitation, suggesting a back-and-forth movement between different opinions or actions.

It conveys the notion of being unable to settle on a particular course of action or viewpoint.

The other options - "sway," "viaduct," and "thrifty" - do not accurately represent the concept of wavering between different opinions or actions.

Therefore, "vacillate" is the correct choice for the one-word substitute.
