unprecedented in SSC previous-year questions
- SSC Selection Post Ph-14 2026 (Matriculation Level) Spelling
Select the correctly spelt word out of the four alternatives.
Answer & explanation
Answer: A) Unprecedented
Meaning: unprecedented = never done or known before *(अभूतपूर्व, अप्रत्याशित)*.
Build the spelling.
un + precedent + ed
precedent = an earlier example *(पूर्व उदाहरण, नज़ीर)* — spelt p-r-e-c-e-d-e-n-t.
*un-* (not) + *precedented* (having an earlier example) ⇒ u-n-p-r-e-c-e-d-e-n-t-e-d.
Why the others are wrong.
#B Unprecidented — writes *-ci-* for -ce-; the root is *precede* *(पहले आना)*, with e after the c.
#B Unpresedented — writes *s* for the soft c; *precede* comes from Latin *prae* + *cedere*, never *s*.
#B Unprecedanted — writes *-dant-* for -dent-; the noun is *precedent*, so the ending is -dented.
Answer: Unprecedented
*Think "pre-cede": the letters after p-r are e-c-e-d-e — vowe - SSC CGL 2022 T-1 Antonyms
