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

The correct synonym for "vanquish" is conquer.

Both words imply overcoming an opponent or obstacle decisively. "Vanquish" suggests a complete defeat, often in battle or conflict, while "conquer" can refer to overcoming something broader, including territories, challenges, or difficulties. The other options are not semantically related. "Quantify" means to express as a number or amount; "describe" means to give an account of; and "verify" means to confirm or establish the truth of.

Therefore, "conquer" is the most fitting synonym due to its close contextual meaning and usage in similar situations as "vanquish". The shared core meaning of overcoming opposition makes "conquer" the best fit, providing a clear and accurate replacement in most contexts where "vanquish" is used.
