SSC CGL 2016 (Tier 1) Previous Year Question Paper (11-Sep-2016) (Shift 2)
The correct answer is

REALIST

To find the word that is opposite in meaning to "VISIONARY," we first need to understand the definition of the word. A "VISIONARY" is someone who thinks about or plans the future with imagination or wisdom, often having unpractical or idealistic ideas. Now, let's examine each of the given options:
  1. REALIST: A person who accepts the world as it literally is and deals with problems practically and logically. This is opposite to a visionary, as a realist focuses on practicalities rather than imaginative visions.

  2. ARTIST: An individual who creates art. This word does not necessarily convey the opposite of visionary, as artists can also be visionary.

  3. IDEALIST: Someone who cherishes or pursues high or noble principles, purposes, or goals. This is similar to a visionary rather than opposite to it.

  4. SOCIALIST: A person who advocates for socialism. This term pertains to a political and economic theory and is not directly opposite to a visionary.

Based on these explanations, the word "REALIST" is the one that is opposite in meaning to "VISIONARY." Therefore, the correct answer is:

REALIST
