Question : Select the most appropriate ANTONYM of the given word.
Profit
Option 1: Earnings
Option 2: Amount
Option 3: Sale
Option 4: Expense

Team Careers360 24th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: Expense

Solution : The correct choice is the fourth option.

Profit means the amount of money gained from a business activity after subtracting all expenses, whereas expense means the costs incurred during business operations that reduce overall profit. So, in this case, expense is the opposite of profit because expenses reduce the amount of profit.

The meanings of other options are as follows:

Earnings: It refers to the money a person or business receives for goods or services provided.
Amount: It is a generic term indicating a quantity of something.
Sale: It refers to the act of selling goods or services.

Question : Select the most appropriate synonym of the underlined word.

I have thus far sketched the events of my life, but I have not shown how much I have depended on books not only for pleasure and for the wisdom they bring to all who read, but also for that knowledge which comes to others through their eyes and their ears.
Option 1: clarity
Option 2: folly
Option 3: insight
Option 4: emotion

Team Careers360 19th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: insight

Solution : The correct word is the third option.

Insight means the capacity to gain an accurate and deep understanding of something. It is synonymous with the word wisdom and correctly fits in the sentence.

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

Clarity somewhat means that something is intelligible but it is not the most appropriate choice for this question.
Folly means foolishness and is not synonymous with the word wisdom, so it is not the right choice.
Emotion means a strong feeling and should not be preferred here.
