(SSC CHSL 2024 T-1 (09-July Shift 1))Answer & explanation
Answer: B) inglorious
Correct Answer: inglorious
Explanation:
The underlined word "celebrated" means famous, praised, or honored. To change the meaning of the sentence, we need its antonym – a word that means not honored or lacking fame.
• Inglorious means not famous or shameful, which is the correct antonym of "celebrated".
• Laureate, illustrious, and acclaimed are all synonyms of "celebrated", meaning famous or honored.
Hence, the only word that reverses the meaning is "inglorious".
