Why the other options are wrong:
- imbreglio (Option 2): Incorrect — uses 'e' instead of 'o' in the middle.
- imbriglio (Option 3): Incorrect — uses ' i ' instead of 'o' in the middle.
- No replacement required (Option 4): Incorrect — " imbraglio " is misspelled and must be replaced. - SSC CPO 2025 T-1 Antonyms
