SSC MTS - 12 Feb 2026 - Shift 2 • English • Q70

The kitchen was redolent of spices, evoking memories of his grandmother's cooking.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The Error: In the original sentence, the word is spelled "redolant." In English, the suffix for this word is -ent, not -ant.

The Correct Spelling is Redolent which is an adjective. It means having a strong, pleasant odor or being strongly suggestive or reminiscent of something.

In the given sentence, the kitchen is filled with the smell of spices, which "evokes memories," making "redolent" the perfect fit both in meaning and spelling.
