PYST : General Awareness - SSC Stenographer 2024 (Tier-I) (10-Dec-2024) (Shift 2)
The correct answer is
Untrustworthy

The question asks for the antonym of "reliable." Let's analyze the options:

  • Unknown: This refers to something whose existence or nature is not known. It's not directly opposite to "reliable."
  • Untrustworthy: This means not able to be relied upon; not dependable. This is the direct opposite of "reliable."
  • Uncommon: This means not frequently encountered or seen. It's not related to the concept of dependability.
  • Unfamiliar: This refers to something not known or recognized. Again, it doesn't contradict the meaning of "reliable."

Therefore, the most appropriate antonym of "reliable" is "untrustworthy." A reliable person or thing is dependable and can be counted on; conversely, an untrustworthy person or thing cannot be relied upon and is not dependable. The core concept revolves around the degree of dependability and trustworthiness. The other options do not possess this direct oppositional relationship. "Reliable" speaks to character and consistency; "untrustworthy" is its direct counterpoint.
