   AirassibleBirescebleCirascibleDNo replacement required
   Answer & explanation

   Answer: C) irascible

   The correct answer is Option 3: irascible.
   The underlined word "iriscible" is misspelled. The correct spelling is "irascible," meaning having or showing a tendency to be easily angered or irritated.

   - No replacement required (Option 4): Incorrect — replacement is needed because "iriscible" is misspelled.

2. SSC Steno 2026 T-1 Antonyms

   What is the antonym of "Irascible"?

   APetulantBTranquilCHostileDFractious
   Answer & explanation

   Answer: B) Tranquil

   Meaning: irascible = quick to anger, hot-tempered *(चिड़चिड़ा, क्रोधी स्वभाव का)*.
   tranquil = calm, peaceful, undisturbed *(शांत, स्थिर)* — the opposite temperament, so option 2.
   A tranquil person does not flare up; an irascible one flares up at nothing.
   Why the others are wrong.
   • petulant = childishly sulky and bad-tempered *(झुँझलाया हुआ, रूठा हुआ)* — a near synonym, not an opposite.
   • hostile = unfriendly, showing open enmity *(शत्रुतापूर्ण, विरोधी)* — also on the angry side of the scale.
   • fractious = irritable and ready to quarrel *(झगड़ालू, चिड़चिड़ा)* — very close indeed to irascible.
   *Latin ira means anger — irascible, irate and ire all grow from that one root.*

Examples

• “The irascible manager shouted at the staff over a minor error.”
