Select the most appropriate ANTONYM of the given word.
IncoherentAnswer & explanation
Answer: C) Rational
Answer: Rational
Explanation:
The word incoherent means unclear, illogical, or lacking connection or consistency (बेतुका / असंगत).
Its antonym is rational, which means logical, reasonable, and well-thought-out (तार्किक / समझदार).
Let’s examine the other options:
• Pensive – deeply thoughtful (विचारशील) ❌ not opposite
• Gloomy – sad or dark (उदास) ❌ unrelated
• Apparent – clearly visible or obvious (स्पष्ट), not opposite of incoherent in meaning ❌
So, the correct antonym is rational. - SSC MTS 2023 Antonyms

"The student provided her English teacher a short and lucid account of her journey to Shimla with her parents."

• humble – modest, not arrogant (विनम्र) – unrelated
• genuine – real or sincere (असली/सच्चा) – unrelated to clarity
