SSC CHSL 2025 Tier 1 Question Paper (21-Nov-2025) (Shift 1)
The correct answer is

PENDING

To form a word from INDEPENDENCE, every letter of the option must be available within it.

The letters available in INDEPENDENCE are: I, N, D, E, P, C (with N, D and E repeated). Importantly, there is no letter G.

DINE uses D, I, N, E — all present in INDEPENDENCE, so it can be formed.

NICE uses N, I, C, E — all present, so it can be formed.

PINE uses P, I, N, E — all present, so it can be formed.

PENDING uses P, E, N, D, I, N, G — but the letter G does not appear in INDEPENDENCE, so PENDING cannot be formed.

The correct answer is PENDING.
