  2. SSC Selection Post Ph-12 2024 ML Antonyms

    Select the most appropriate ANTONYM of the given word.
    Forbid

    Answer & explanation

    Answer: A) Allow

    The word "forbid" means to prohibit, disallow, or prevent something from happening. It indicates a restriction or ban on a particular action. When looking for an antonym, we need a word that conveys the opposite meaning — to permit or authorize something.
    Let’s analyze the options:
    • Allow: This means to permit or give permission for something to happen. It is the direct opposite of "forbid," making it the correct antonym.
    • Bear: This means to endure or tolerate something. It does not relate to permitting or prohibiting actions, so it is not an antonym.
    • Collect: This means to gather or bring things together. It is unrelated to the idea of permitting or forbidding, so it is not an antonym.

  3. SSC Selection Post Ph-14 2026 (Higher Secondary Level) Synonyms

    Choose the most appropriate synonym of the given word.
    Forbid

    Answer & explanation

    Answer: D) Ban

    Meaning: forbid = to order that something must not be done *(मना करना, निषेध करना)*.
    Its synonym is ban = to officially prohibit *(प्रतिबंध लगाना)*.
    *The school forbids / bans mobile phones in class.*

    Why the others are wrong.
    #B Allow = to let something happen *(अनुमति देना)* — the opposite.
    #B Permit = to give formal permission *(इजाज़त देना)* — also an antonym.
    #B Welcome = to greet or accept gladly *(स्वागत करना)* — has nothing to do with prohibiting.

    Answer: Ban

    *Allow and permit are a pair of antonyms planted together — strike both at once.*
