75-Most Important Vocab for Bank exams FREE ENGLISH LANGUAGE EBOOK

Vocabulary in competitive examinations (banking and government examinations) is

quite important. In several cases, it might be possible that the student does not know
the meaning of a word which can cause them to lose a mark by selecting the wrong
option. However, in this case, negative marking can ruin their efforts if they do not
manage to clear a cut-off. So, it is quite necessary to be well prepared against such
problems or cases.
To understand how a question may be included in an examination (such as SBI PO),
check out this question below –
“Select the most effective words from the given options to fill the blanks and
make the sentences meaningfully complete.”
John did not readily accept the standards, being a ______________, there is no
surprise that he is so __________________.
a. Madman, Crazy
b. Neophyte, Salacious
c. Maverick, Audacious
d. Prodigy, Radical
Answer here is [c.] Maverick, Audacious because option [a.] and [b.] do not make
sense as Salacious means obscene which isn’t hinted anywhere while not accepting
the standards does not make anyone crazy, and if someone is a Prodigy, they may
not always be radical in their ways. However, someone who is a Maverick tries to
follow unconventional ways to achieve their objectives or deliver results and hence
they must be bold or audacious. Therefore, [c.] is the correct answer.
