Antonyms Quiz Set-1
Antonyms are words that have opposite meanings in a particular context, representing contrast in sense, degree, or direction. They function within the linguistic system to express negation, opposition, or difference, enriching vocabulary and sharpening precision in communication. According to authoritative sources like the Oxford English Dictionary and Merriam-Webster Dictionary, antonyms can be classified as gradable (hot–cold), complementary (alive–dead), and relational (buy–sell), depending on the nature of their opposition.
In India, Antonyms MCQs are now common in competitive exams like UPSC, SSC, IBPS, NDA, and state-level tests. These questions check a candidate’s vocabulary and understanding of word meanings. Instead of just memorizing words, students need to know how words are used in different situations. Since many exams focus on English language skills, learning antonyms is important for scoring well in the verbal ability section.
To prepare Antonyms for exams, start by learning new words daily from a good English dictionary or word lists from books like Word Power Made Easy. Focus on understanding the meaning of words instead of just memorizing them. Read newspapers, magazines, and competitive exam guides to see how words are used in sentences. Practice MCQs regularly from previous year papers and mock tests. Use flashcards or mobile apps to revise words quickly. Also, try to learn words with their synonyms and antonyms together, as this makes it easier to remember them.
