Daily Vocabulary from Indian Newspapers (19 August 2025): DAILY QUIZ

1. In the context of public recognition, an ovation most precisely refers to:

An ovation specifically denotes an intense, prolonged demonstration of approval that goes beyond ordinary applause. The word derives from the Latin "ovatio," referring to a lesser form of Roman triumph, implying ceremonial significance and sustained enthusiasm. Option A is too general (any applause), Option C describes modest appreciation, Option D refers to cheering rather than applause-based recognition, and Option E describes a ceremony rather than a spontaneous response. The key distinction is that an ovation represents sustained, enthusiastic acclaim rather than brief or perfunctory acknowledgment.

2. The investigative journalist’s _______ reporting style, characterized by deliberate distortions and vindictive personal attacks, eventually destroyed several innocent reputations and undermined public trust in media integrity.

"Malignant" perfectly captures the destructive, deliberately harmful nature of the reporting described. In non-medical contexts, malignant means actively evil or harmful with intent to cause damage—exactly matching the "deliberate distortions and vindictive personal attacks." Option A (incisive) suggests sharp but accurate analysis, Option C (provocative) implies stirring debate without necessarily being harmful, Option D (tenacious) indicates persistence without malice, and Option E (cynical) suggests skepticism but not active harm. The word malignant emphasizes the cancerous, spreading nature of damage that destroys reputations and institutions.

3. Which word is most synonymous with thesis in academic discourse?

In academic discourse, "proposition" most accurately captures the essence of a thesis as a statement or assertion put forward for consideration or argument. While "dissertation" (Option C) refers to the document containing a thesis, it's not synonymous with the thesis itself. "Hypothesis" (Option A) is specifically a testable prediction in scientific contexts, "premise" (Option D) refers to a foundational assumption rather than the main argument, and "conclusion" (Option E) represents the end result rather than the central claim. A thesis is fundamentally a proposition—a declarative statement that advances a specific argument or position requiring support and defense.

4. In medical terminology, the antonym of aggravating would be:

"Alleviating" is the precise medical antonym of "aggravating." In clinical contexts, aggravating refers to factors that worsen or exacerbate symptoms, while alleviating specifically means reducing severity or providing relief. Option A (soothing) relates to comfort but doesn't necessarily reduce the underlying condition, Option C (calming) addresses emotional state rather than symptom severity, Option D (remedial) means corrective but implies fixing rather than reducing severity, and Option E (therapeutic) indicates treatment potential but doesn't directly oppose worsening. The medical distinction is crucial: aggravating factors increase symptom intensity, while alleviating factors decrease it.

5. A literary critic might appropriately use execration when:

"Execration" denotes vehement denunciation or curse-like condemnation, making it appropriate only for expressing intense moral or artistic revulsion. This archaic, formal term conveys loathing that goes far beyond ordinary criticism. Option A involves praise, Option B describes mild critique, Option D represents analytical examination, and Option E involves comparative study—none approaching the intensity of condemnation that execration requires. A critic would use execration when viewing a work as so fundamentally offensive or worthless that it deserves not mere criticism but moral denunciation. The word carries connotations of righteous anger and complete rejection.
