Which of the following options is not one of the meanings of the homonym 'content'?

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

A container used for storing liquids

The question asks which option is NOT one of the meanings of the homonym 'content'.

A homonym is a word with the same spelling but more than one distinct meaning, so we test each option against a genuine sense of 'content'.

Option 1 is valid: 'content' (stressed on the first syllable) can mean the topics or material included within a book, broadcast, or website.

Option 2 is valid: 'content' (stressed on the second syllable) can mean a state of satisfaction or peaceful happiness, as in feeling content.

Option 3 is valid: 'content' can mean the amount of a particular substance present in something, as in the water content or fat content of a food.

Option 4 describes a container used for storing liquids, which is a vessel such as a bottle or jug; that is not a meaning of 'content' at all, so it is the odd one out.

Hence the option that is not a meaning is A container used for storing liquids.
