  1. SSC Selection Post Ph-14 2026 (Graduate Level) Antonyms

    Choose the most appropriate antonym of the underlined word.
    She has an innate ability to solve complex mathematical problems.

    Answer & explanation

    Answer: B) Acquired

    Meaning: innate = present from birth, not learned *(जन्मजात, स्वाभाविक)*.
    Its opposite is an ability gained later through learning or effort.
    Acquired = gained by learning, practice or experience *(अर्जित, सीखा हुआ)*.

    Why the others are wrong.
    #B Natural = existing by nature, not taught *(स्वाभाविक, प्राकृतिक)* — a synonym of innate.
    #B Inborn = existing from birth *(जन्मजात)* — the closest synonym of innate.
    #B Hereditary = passed down from parents *(वंशानुगत, पैतृक)* — also something one is born with, so it sides with innate.

    Answer: Acquired

    *Three options mean "born with it" — the odd one out is the antonym.*

  2. SSC CGL 2023 T-1 Antonyms

    Select the most appropriate ANTONYM of the given word.
    Innate

    Answer & explanation

    Answer: C) Learned

    Answer: Learned
    Solution:
    • The word Innate means something inborn or natural (जन्मजात).
    • The antonym is Learned, meaning acquired by learning, not natural (सीखा हुआ).
