Learning Antonyms from Experts of Banking Coaching Classes
Hi!!
A very warm welcome to our dear students on behalf of Vidya Guru, renowned as the Institute for Best Bank PO Coaching in Delhi & NCR.
So, it is time for the next round of vocabulary dose for our dear students. The difference in this round will be that the questions are going to be based not on synonyms, but on antonyms. In the last few sets, you have attempted ample number of questions based on finding similar meaning words. However, in the actual exam, you will face questions on opposite words as well.
Still, that’s not the sole reason for such vocabulary improvement quizzes as by now you must be aware that we try to impart learning in a practical manner. Our aim is genuine linguistic improvement in our students and not just retention of information for the purpose of scoring marks in examination.
So, where exactly are the antonyms needed in our daily life? Mostly we use the antonyms in the negative connotation in our daily usage. Apart from that, sometimes it is used with ‘not’ to emphasize on the connotation of a particular word in opposite. Here, our main objective is that you know the words that are diametrically opposite to a word. That will complete your learning of a word also i.e. you know the meaning, you know some other words that also imply the same, you also know the opposite meaning of the word and obviously, last but not the least, you know the application of the words. It is called 360-Degree learning methodology.
Having said all these, let us now proceed towards the quiz that we have meticulously designed for all of you. Go through it; learn the words and their antonyms along with the application of that word. Try to think of the situations in which the opposite word may come in handy for you for writing or speaking.
We are quite positive that it will be beneficial for you in your overall journey of learning.
