dependence in SSC previous-year questions
- SSC CPO 2025 T-1 Antonyms
Choose the word that is opposite in meaning to the given word "Dependence".
Answer & explanation
Answer: A) Autonomy
The correct answer is: Autonomy
'Dependence' means relying on others for support, help, or existence. Its antonym is 'Autonomy' — the right or ability to govern oneself; independence; self-sufficiency.
Why other options are wrong:
Option 2 — Slavery: Extreme dependence and loss of freedom; actually closer in meaning to dependence, not an antonym.
Option 3 — Subordinate: Being lower in rank or position; does not mean independence.
Option 4 — Submissiveness: Yielding to others; implies even greater dependence, not the opposite.
Correct answer: Option 1 — Autonomy
