Synonyms / antonyms

Lesson 100 of 113

Topic kya maangta hai

Paper: Choose the nearest meaning / synonym of / antonym of / opposite of. Kabhi sentence: The Thar is arid. Pooche is word ke closest option, poori line rewrite nahi. PQRS / best way — improvement. famous ___ for — cloze (collocation). One who looks after — OWS. kick the bucket — idioms extra. RC “word in passage means” comprehension (wahan context lamba; yahan 4 options vocab). Hindi अश्व–घोड़ा paryay pe.

Yahan padhna

Nearest ≠ photocopy. POS lock (light = not heavy / not dark). Intensity: happy ≠ ecstatic. Prefix un/in/dis — aur jo fail (invaluable, infamous, inflammable). accept/except look-alike, synonym nahi. Clusters: arid/dry, scarce/rare, vacant/empty, prohibit/forbid, authentic/genuine. Antonym: ancient–modern, brief–lengthy, reluctant–willing. Rajasthan: arid Thar, ancient forts, scarce water, vast desert, fertile canal belts.

Yahan mat ghusana

Underline goes to school — improvement. Hole fill famous for — cloze (yahan arid = dry, for nahi). Find error despite of — spotting. One who / a place where — OWS. Phrase matlab — idioms. Passage title — RC. taller/better form — degrees. isn't he — tags. Hindi पर्याय सूची / जय–विजय trap — paryay / vilom (अमूल्य English invaluable se milta-julta trap yahan English word se).

Ek line: Options mein woh word jo isi jaat, isi zor, isi context mein sabse paas baithe — dictionary ka pehla synonym hamesha nahi.

Nearest — photocopy mat dhoondho

Paper likhta hai nearest / closest / most appropriate. Exact twin zaroori nahi. Char mein se jo kam-se-kam door.

  • huge → vast / enormous (big bhi paas, lekin vast desert-collocation jeette Thar stem pe)
  • begin → start / commence (commence thoda formal; start Class-X nearest)
  • end → finish / conclude / cease (cease = rukna; finish kaam khatam — stem padho)

Do options dono “sahi-ish”: finer — same POS, same intensity, same field (weather vs emotion).

Example

The Thar is a vast desert. Nearest: big / sandy / huge / green

Solution

  1. Size

    huge = area-bada. sandy quality alag. green ulat. big halka; huge nearest.

Answerhuge

POS + sentence — dictionary akela nahi

Same spelling, kai matlab. Job POS pe naam; yahan option usi job ka synonym.

lightThe bag is lightnot heavy / easy to carrybright (light = roshni alag)

bankriver bankshore / edgemoney office
hardHe works harddiligentlyhardly = almost not — degrees trap
meanWhat does it mean?signifyunkind (mean = kameena alag)
faira fair decisionjust / impartialmela (noun fair) / light-skinned

Bina sentence ke paper ho to sabse aam Class-X matlab. Sentence ho to usi line ka matlab jeette — RC bhi yahi karta lamba passage se; yahan ek line.

Intensity — khushi ki seedhi

happy < glad ≈ pleased < delighted < ecstatic. Stem “She was happy to get the form” pe ecstatic overkill — nearest glad/pleased. Antonym sad/unhappy, not furious (gussa alag seedhi).

big < large < huge / vast / enormous. tiny / minute (size; minute = pal alag spelling-job).

like < love < adore. dislike < hate / detest / loathe.

Option jo bahut tez ya bahut dheema — nearest beech wala jab stem saadha ho. Cloze collocation alag; yahan meaning-paas.

Prefix — aksar antonym, hamesha nahi

PrefixExample pairNote
un-happy–unhappy, fair–unfair, known–unknownfamous → unknown / obscure; unfamous nahi
in-visible–invisible, complete–incomplete, correct–incorrectinvaluable alag ghar
im- (p/m se pehle)possible–impossible, mature–immature, polite–impolite

dis-honest–dishonest, appear–disappear, agree–disagree
non-sense–nonsense, violent–non-violent
mis-understand–misunderstandgalat tarike se, hamesha “ulat” nahi

Antonym poochhe to prefix-wala tab jab options mein ho. Kabhi naya word: ancient antonym modern, unancient nahi.

infamousnot famousbad-naami / notorious. not famous = unknown / obscure
inflammablenot flammablejalne wala — flammable ka synonym, antonym nahi. Opposite: non-flammable
restiverestfulbechain / impatient. restful = shaant

in- hamesha “nahi” nahi. intense, inflame, invaluable. Word ratna + sentence.

Look-alike — synonym nahi, spelling-jodi

Yeh cloze/spotting bhi kaat’te; yahan “nearest of accept” pe except mat tick.

desert (verb leave) vs the desert (noun Thar) — POS. Synonym of desert in “He deserted his post” = abandoned, not Thar.

Antonym pairs — seedha ulta, teer mat

Hot antonym cold, not warm (warm beech). Dead antonym alive, not sick. Complementary vs scale: paper aksar scale (rich–poor) ya clear opposite (accept–reject).

  • arrival – departure
  • victory – defeat (jay–parajay; Hindi विजय–पराजय vilom; जय–विजय paryay trap wahan, yahan victory synonym win, antonym defeat)
  • permanent – temporary
  • include – exclude
  • expand – contract / shrink
  • import – export
  • optimist – pessimist
  • urban – rural
