- SSC MTS 2024 Antonyms
Select the most appropriate ANTONYM of the highlighted word.
As long as I live, I shall be obliged to my Uncle.Answer & explanation
Answer: A) thankless
Answer: thankless
Solution:
• The word obliged means grateful or thankful for something someone has done (आभारी).
• In the sentence, “I shall be obliged to my Uncle,” it means the speaker feels grateful or indebted (कृपा मानना, एहसानमंद होना).
• The antonym (opposite) of obliged would be someone who feels no gratitude or is ungrateful.
• Thankless means not feeling or showing gratitude (अकृतज्ञ, एहसान न मानने वाला), which is the correct opposite.
• The other options:
• Grateful – synonym, not antonym.
• Indebted – similar in meaning to obliged.
• Pleased – unrelated to the idea of obligation or gratitude.
• Hence, the most appropriate antonym is thankless.
