    (SSC CHSL 2024 T-1 (05-July Shift 1))

    Answer & explanation

    Answer: C) Depression

    Correct Answer: Depression
    Explanation:
    • Ecstasy means intense joy or overwhelming happiness.

    • Depression – ✅ a deep and prolonged emotional low; the most appropriate antonym of ecstasy.
    • Passion – intense emotion, often positive; unrelated as an opposite.
    ✅ Therefore, Depression is the most appropriate antonym of Ecstasy, as both represent extreme but opposite emotional states.
