- SSC CHSL 2025 T-1 One Word Substitution
Choose the one-word substitute for the below sentence.
Emily asked her friend, a person who has never been married called?Answer & explanation
Answer: D) Bachelor
Correct Answer: Option 4 — "Bachelor"
"Bachelor" = a man who has never been married; an unmarried man; the one-word substitute for a person who has never married. ✓
Why other options are wrong:
Option 1 'Single' = not married or in a romantic relationship; however, 'single' is a broader, informal adjective (includes those who were married but are now divorced/widowed) and is not the precise one-word substitute for someone who has NEVER been married. ✗
Option 2 'Celibate' = abstaining from marriage and sexual relations, often for religious reasons; takes a vow of chastity. Celibacy implies abstinence by choice or vow — not simply the state of never having married. ✗
Option 3 'Widower' = a man
