SSC Stenographer - 18 Nov 2022 - Shift 2 • English • Q52

Select the option that gives the most appropriate meaning of the following word.

Crude

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 3 i.e. Natural.

  1. Damp: Damp refers to a slight wetness or moisture, typically on a surface, and is unrelated to the meaning of crude.

  2. Refined: Refined means processed or purified, often to remove impurities or enhance quality, which is the opposite of crude.

  3. Natural: Crude often refers to something in its natural or raw state, without processing or refinement. It means being in a natural or unaltered form, making "natural" the most appropriate synonym for "crude."

  4. Processed: Processed means subjected to a series of mechanical or chemical operations to prepare or alter for a particular purpose. It is the opposite of crude, which implies something in its raw or natural state.
