Daily Vocabulary from Indian Newspapers (2 August 2025): DAILY QUIZ

1. The crowd’s jubilation following the underdog team’s championship victory was so intense that it could be heard from blocks away, with fans celebrating well into the night.

What does “jubilation” most precisely mean?

Jubilation specifically refers to overwhelming feelings of joy and triumphant celebration, often expressed publicly and exuberantly. The word derives from Latin "jubilare" meaning "to shout for joy." Option A is incorrect because jubilation implies intense, not mild, positive emotion. Option C describes relief rather than celebratory joy. Option D refers to anticipatory excitement rather than post-achievement celebration. Option E describes nostalgic happiness, which lacks the triumphant, immediate quality of jubilation.

2. The ambitious intern spent most of the corporate retreat hobnobbing with senior executives, hoping to advance her career prospects.

Which word is closest in meaning to “hobnobbing”?

Hobnobbing means socializing with people of higher social status or influential position, making "networking" the most precise synonym. While "fraternizing" (option B) involves socializing, it doesn't capture the specific connotation of mixing with social superiors that hobnobbing implies. "Interrogating" (A) suggests aggressive questioning rather than social mixing. "Eavesdropping" (C) involves secretly listening rather than direct social interaction. "Confronting" (E) implies opposition rather than friendly social engagement. Networking specifically captures both the social aspect and the strategic career-building motivation inherent in hobnobbing.

3. Without access to the company’s internal financial records, analysts could only _______ about the reasons behind the sudden merger announcement.

"Speculate" means to form theories or conjectures without firm evidence, which perfectly fits the context where analysts lack concrete information. The sentence emphasizes the absence of internal records, indicating that only theoretical reasoning is possible. Options B, C, D, and E all require evidence or proof: "authenticate" means to prove genuine, "corroborate" means to confirm with evidence, "substantiate" means to provide evidence for, and "verify" means to confirm accuracy. These all contradict the premise that analysts lack access to the necessary internal information, making speculation their only option.

4. After being publicly criticized for the project’s failure, Sarah felt deeply humiliated and questioned her professional competence.

Which word represents the best antonym for “humiliated”?

"Vindicated" is the best antonym for "humiliated" because it means cleared of blame or suspicion, often publicly, which directly opposes the public shame and degradation implied by humiliation. Vindication restores one's reputation and dignity, the opposite of humiliation's effect. "Entertained" (B) is irrelevant to dignity or shame. "Satisfied" (C) represents contentment but doesn't address the dignity aspect. "Relieved" (D) suggests stress removal but not reputation restoration. "Composed" (E) refers to emotional control rather than the restoration of honor and respect that vindication provides.

5. In her sociology dissertation, Maria examined how certain urban communities became increasingly _______ through discriminatory housing policies that segregated neighborhoods based on ethnic demographics.

"Racialized" specifically means treated, categorized, or organized according to racial characteristics, often through systemic processes that emphasize racial differences where they may not have been prominent before. In this context, housing policies that segregate based on ethnic demographics are creating racial categories and divisions, making communities "racialized." While "marginalized" (B) and "stigmatized" (E) describe negative treatment, they don't capture the specific process of racial categorization. "Politicized" (C) refers to making something political, and "economized" (D) relates to economic efficiency—neither addresses the racial dimension central to the housing policy's impact.
