6. SSC CPO 2025 T-1 Synonyms

   Choose the correct synonym for the word 'Ambiguous'

   AClearBSpecificCMysteriousDVague
   Answer & explanation

   Answer: D) Vague

   The correct answer is: Vague
   'Ambiguous' means open to more than one interpretation; unclear or having a double meaning. 'Vague' means not clearly expressed or thought out — it is the closest synonym, as both imply lack of clarity.
   Why other options are wrong:
   Option 1 — Clear: The antonym of ambiguous; clear means easy to understand.
   Option 2 — Specific: Also opposite in meaning; specific means precise and exact.
   Option 3 — Mysterious: While related to uncertainty, 'mysterious' implies secrecy or something unknown — it does not specifically capture the dual-meaning quality of 'ambiguous'. 'Vague' is a more direct synonym.
   Correct answer: Option 4 — Vague

Examples

• “His ambiguous answer left everyone confused.”
