sublime in SSC previous-year questions
- SSC CHSL 2025 T-1 Antonyms
Select the most appropriate antonym of the word: Sublime
Answer & explanation
Answer: A) Mediocre
"Sublime" means of extreme beauty, excellence, or greatness; awe-inspiring; of the highest degree of quality. Its antonym is "Mediocre" — of only ordinary or moderate quality; not very good; neither excellent nor terrible. "Exalted," "Glorious," and "Supreme" are all synonyms of sublime — they all express greatness and excellence. Therefore, "Mediocre" is the correct antonym, representing the opposite of the exceptional quality that "sublime" conveys.
