exasperate in SSC previous-year questions
- SSC Steno 2026 T-1 Spelling
Select the wrongly spelt word out of the four alternatives.
Answer & explanation
Answer: A) exasperete
Meaning: the misspelt word is exasperete; the correct form is exasperate = to irritate somebody intensely *(अत्यंत चिढ़ाना, झुंझलाहट पैदा करना)*.
The ending is the ordinary verb suffix -ate, as in *irritate, aggravate, infuriate* — an *-ete* ending does not exist here.
Why the others are wrong.
• separate = to divide, to keep apart *(अलग करना, पृथक करना)* — correctly spelt; there is a rat in sepa-rat-e, which is the standard hook.
• equivalent = equal in value or meaning *(समतुल्य, बराबर)* — correctly spelt; built on *equi-* (equal) and *valent* (worth).
• temperature = the degree of heat *(तापमान)* — correctly spelt; the *-era-* in the middle is often swallowed in speech but must be written
