Question

Choose the word that best expresses the meaning of "CONSCRIPT".

This question was previously asked in
SSC CGL 2016 (Tier 1) Previous Year Question Paper (11-Sep-2016) (Shift 2)
The correct answer is

DRAFT

The word "conscript" means to enlist compulsorily, typically into the military. Draft also means compulsory enlistment, making it the closest synonym. "Draw" can imply selection, but not necessarily compulsory service. "Encircle" and "subscribe" are unrelated in meaning.

Therefore, draft is the best fit because it accurately captures the mandatory nature of conscription.
