anteroom in SSC previous-year questions
- SSC Steno 2026 T-1 One Word Substitution
Choose the one word substitute for the below sentence.
Aditya waited patiently in the small room that served as the entrance to a much larger space.Answer & explanation
Answer: A) Anteroom
Meaning: anteroom = a small room leading into a larger one, used for waiting *(प्रतीक्षा-कक्ष, बाहरी कमरा)*.
The Latin prefix *ante-* means before, so an anteroom is the room you sit in *before* the main hall — exactly the room the sentence describes.
Why the others are wrong.
• Bedroom = a room meant for sleeping *(शयनकक्ष)* — nothing to do with an entrance.
• Kitchen = the room in which food is cooked *(रसोईघर)*.
• Bathroom = a room for bathing and washing *(स्नानघर)*.
Word help.
patiently = calmly, without irritation *(धैर्यपूर्वक)*.
*Ante- means before — antecedent, antenatal, antechamber; anti- means against — antiseptic, antidote.*
