EMANCIPATE

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

LIBERATE

The word "EMANCIPATE" means to set free, especially from legal, social, or political restrictions. To choose the word that best expresses this meaning, we should consider synonyms that align with this definition.

Let's evaluate the options:

  • LIFT: This typically means to raise something physically or to relieve someone from a burden, but it's not directly related to setting someone free from restrictions.
  • SIZE: This refers to the dimensions or extent of something, which is unrelated to the concept of freeing or liberating.
  • RAISE: Similar to "lift," this can mean to elevate physically or socially, but doesn't encapsulate the idea of liberation.
  • LIBERATE: This directly means to set free, primarily from oppression or bondage, and is synonymous with "emancipate."

Therefore, the correct choice is LIBERATE.
