Why the other options are wrong:
- Exodus (Option 2): A mass departure — a synonym of departure, not an antonym.
- Exit (Option 3): The act of leaving or a way out — a synonym of departure.
- Withdrawal (Option 4): The act of removing oneself — a synonym of departure. - SSC Steno 2023 T-1 Antonyms

Answer: a) Departure
Explanation:
Advent means the arrival or beginning of something important (आगमन या शुरुआत).

• Departure – Leaving or going away (प्रस्थान) → ✅ Correct antonym
• Arrival – Coming or reaching a place (आगमन) → ❌ Synonym
• Experience – Practical contact or involvement (अनुभव) → ❌ Unrelated
