- SSC Steno 2026 T-1 One Word Substitution
Choose the one word substitute for the below sentence.
Manish's approach was unique, representing a clear departure from the standard norms usually followed.Answer & explanation
Answer: B) Anomaly
Meaning: anomaly = something that departs from what is normal or expected *(असंगति, अपवाद, विचलन)*.
The sentence describes an approach that is *unique* and *a clear departure from the standard norms* — that is the definition of an anomaly, word for word.
Why the others are wrong.
• Uniformity = sameness throughout, with no variation *(एकरूपता)* — the very state the sentence says was broken.
• Conformity = behaving in line with accepted rules *(अनुरूपता, अनुपालन)* — following the norm instead of departing from it.
• Regularity = happening in a fixed, even pattern *(नियमितता)* — again the ordinary state, not the exception.
Word help.
norm = an accepted standard of behaviour *(मानक, प्रचलित निय
