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

MILD

The word "INCLEMENT" is an adjective that describes weather that is rough, severe, or harsh. To find the opposite, we need a word that suggests the opposite conditions, which would imply gentleness or mildness.

Let's evaluate the options:

  • RADICAL: This means relating to fundamental changes or affecting the nature of something, not an opposite of "inclement."

  • MILD: This means gentle or not severe, which contrasts directly with "inclement."

  • HARSH: This means severe or cruel, similar in meaning to "inclement," rather than opposite.

  • TYRANNICAL: This relates to cruel and oppressive government or rule, which doesn't relate directly to weather conditions.

Therefore, the word opposite in meaning to "INCLEMENT" is MILD.
