anthropomorphism in SSC previous-year questions
- SSC CPO 2025 T-1 One Word Substitution
Choose the correct one-word substitute for: 'The practice of attributing human traits to non-humans.'
Answer & explanation
Answer: C) Anthropomorphism
Correct Answer: Option 3 — Anthropomorphism
Anthropomorphism = attributing human characteristics (emotions, intentions, behaviours) to non-human entities such as animals, gods, or objects.
Example: 'The fox was clever and cunning' attributes human traits to an animal.
Why others are wrong:
Option 1 (Zoomorphism): Attributing animal characteristics to humans or gods — the reverse.
Option 2 (Theomorphism): Attributing divine qualities to humans.
Option 4 (Animism): The belief that all objects, places, and creatures possess a distinct spiritual essence — not the same as attributing human traits.
