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

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

  • Deplore means to express strong disapproval of something.
  • Ridicule means to mock or make fun of something, which isn't necessarily the opposite of disapproval.
  • Prolong means to extend the duration of something, completely unrelated to the meaning of "deplore".
  • Decode means to convert a coded message into intelligible language, again unrelated.
  • Relish means to enjoy greatly. This is the direct opposite of "deplore," which expresses strong disapproval.

Therefore, the antonym of "deplore" is "relish" because one expresses strong disapproval while the other expresses great enjoyment. These two words represent opposite sentiments and emotional responses.
