- SSC CPO 2025 T-1 Antonyms
Choose the word that is opposite in meaning to the given word "Acquitted".
Answer & explanation
Answer: A) Convicted
The correct answer is: Convicted
'Acquitted' means found not guilty of a criminal charge; declared innocent by a court of law. Its direct antonym is 'Convicted' — found guilty by a court and sentenced.
Why other options are wrong:
Option 2 — Pardoned: Means forgiven for an offence — but pardon is given AFTER guilt is established. It is not the antonym of acquittal.
Option 3 — Exempted: Means freed from a rule or obligation; not a legal term for guilt.
Option 4 — Liberated: Means set free; not the legal opposite of acquitted.
Correct answer: Option 1 — Convicted
