Vivacious and enthusiasticAnswer & explanation
Answer: D) Effervescent
The correct one-word substitute for "Vivacious and enthusiastic" is:
Effervescent
Effervescent describes someone who is lively, enthusiastic, and full of energy, which matches the meaning of "vivacious and enthusiastic."
The other options do not fit:
• Introverted refers to someone who is shy and prefers solitude, the opposite of vivacious.
• Brazen refers to being bold or shameless, not necessarily enthusiastic.
• Rowdy refers to being noisy and disorderly, which is not a perfect match for vivacious and enthusiastic. - SSC Selection Post Ph-14 2026 (Higher Secondary Level) Spelling
Select the wrongly spelt word out of the four alternatives.
Answer & explanation
Answer: C) Ephervescent
Rule: effervescent comes from Latin *ex* + *fervescere* (to begin to boil); the *ex* becomes ef before *f*, giving a double ff: E-F-F-E-R-V-E-S-C-E-N-T *(बुदबुदाता हुआ; उमंग भरा, जीवंत)*.
The printed *Ephervescent* wrongly uses ph for the ff sound.
Why the others are fine.
#B Etiquette = the code of polite behaviour *(शिष्टाचार)* — French, ends in -quette.
#B Exhilarate = to make very happy and lively *(प्रफुल्लित करना)* — remember the silent h after *ex*.
#B Entrepreneur = a person who starts a business *(उद्यमी)* — -preneur, again the French -eur.
Answer: Ephervescent
*Same Latin prefix as effect, efficient, effort: ex + f = eff.*
Examples
- “Her effervescent personality lights up every room.”
