SSC CGL - 25 July 2023 - Shift 1 • English • Q2

Select the option that is OPPOSITE in meaning to the given word.
Incompetent

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

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

"Incompetent" means lacking the necessary skills or ability to do something well, while "dexterous" refers to someone who is skillful, especially with their hands, indicating competence and proficiency.

The other options—"forlorn," "desperate," and "hopeless"—do not directly relate to skill or ability, making "dexterous" the most suitable antonym.
