SSC CHSL 2025 Tier 1 Question Paper (21-Nov-2025) (Shift 1)
The correct answer is

Apostate

The sentence needs one word for a person who abandons or formally renounces his religion, so we match each option to that exact act of leaving a faith.

One-word substitution demands the term whose core meaning is 'giving up one's religion', not merely doubting or opposing it.

An 'apostate' is precisely one who deserts or renounces the religious faith or allegiance he once held, which fits the sentence exactly.

An 'agnostic' only doubts whether God can be known and never commits either way, so no abandonment of a held faith is implied.

A 'heretic' holds opinions that clash with established doctrine while staying within the religion, and an 'infidel' is simply a non-believer as seen by a faith, not one who has left it.

Because only one option means renouncing a religion once professed, the correct one-word substitution is Apostate.
