- SSC Steno 2026 T-1 Antonyms
Choose the antonym of 'artificial':
Answer & explanation
Answer: B) Natural
Meaning: artificial = made by human skill rather than occurring in nature; not genuine *(कृत्रिम, बनावटी)*.
The antonym is natural = existing in or produced by nature, not made by people *(प्राकृतिक, स्वाभाविक)*.
*Artificial* flowers versus *natural* flowers from the garden.
Why the others are wrong.
• fake = not genuine, a counterfeit *(नकली)* — a synonym, not an antonym.
• false = not true; not real *(झूठा, नकली)* — false teeth are artificial teeth, so again the same side.
• synthetic = made by chemical synthesis, man-made *(संश्लेषित, कृत्रिम)* — the closest synonym of all.
*In an antonym question three options are usually synonyms of the stem — eliminate them together.*
