denial in SSC previous-year questions
- SSC CPO 2025 T-1 Antonyms
Choose the word that is opposite in meaning to the given word "Denial".
Answer & explanation
Answer: A) Affirmation
Correct Answer: Option 1 — Affirmation
'Denial' means the action of declaring something to be untrue; refusal. Its antonym should mean the opposite — agreement or confirmation. 'Affirmation' means the action of affirming something as true — the direct antonym.
Why the others are wrong:
Option 2 — 'Opposition' means resistance; it is more of a synonym for denial (opposing/denying).
Option 3 — 'Refusal' is a synonym for denial, not an antonym.
Option 4 — 'Liberal' means open to new ideas or broad-minded; while somewhat contrasting in spirit, it is not the direct antonym of denial.
