Which of the following options is NOT one of the meanings of the homonym 'record'?

This question was previously asked in
SSC CHSL 2025 Tier 1 Question Paper (21-Nov-2025) (Shift 1)
The correct answer is

A musical performance done entirely without instruments

The question asks which option is NOT one of the meanings of the word 'record', so we must identify the sense that does not belong to it.

As a noun, 'record' can mean 'a written account or documentation of facts or events', such as an official record or a medical record.

As a verb, 'record' means 'to capture audio or video for future playback', as in recording a song or a video.

'Record' also names 'the best or highest achievement in a particular field', for example a world record in athletics.

The remaining option describes 'a musical performance done entirely without instruments'; that specific meaning belongs to the term 'a cappella', not to 'record'.

Although a recording may capture such a performance, the word 'record' itself never means singing without instruments, so this sense is foreign to it.

Therefore the option that is not a meaning of 'record' is the one about unaccompanied musical performance.

Hence the answer is A musical performance done entirely without instruments
