preservation in SSC previous-year questions
- SSC MTS 2025 Antonyms
Choose the word that is most opposite in meaning to "destruction".
Answer & explanation
Answer: A) Preservation
The correct answer is Option 1: "Preservation."
"Destruction" means the act of damaging something so severely that it no longer exists or cannot be repaired. Its antonym is "Preservation," which means the act of keeping something safe, intact, and protected from harm.
Why the other options are wrong:
• Option 2 – "Devastation" means severe and widespread destruction; a synonym, not an antonym.
• Option 3 – "Ruin" means to damage or destroy beyond repair; a synonym.
• Option 4 – "Damage" means harm or injury; also a synonym of destruction. - SSC MTS 2023 Spelling
