Daily Vocabulary from Indian Newspapers (1 September 2025): DAILY QUIZ

1. In psychological literature, desperation is most accurately characterized as:

Desperation refers to a state of extreme hopelessness or urgent need that drives someone to take reckless, frantic, or extreme measures they might not otherwise consider. It implies being driven to the point where rational decision-making is compromised by dire circumstances. Option A is incorrect because desperation isn't calculated—it's driven by urgent need rather than ambition. Option C is too mild; desperation goes far beyond mere disappointment. Option D suggests strategy and control, which contradicts the frantic nature of desperation. Option E is incorrect because desperation is characterized by a loss of control, not controlled responses.

2. The new evidence served to _______ the prosecutor’s argument, providing the additional support needed to convince the skeptical jury.

"Shore up" means to support, strengthen, or reinforce something that might otherwise fail or collapse, often used metaphorically for arguments, positions, or institutions. In this context, the evidence strengthens the prosecutor's case. Option A (undermine) is the opposite of what's needed. Option C (contradict) would work against the argument rather than supporting it. Option D (dilute) means to weaken or make less concentrated. Option E (complicate) would make the argument more complex but not necessarily stronger. The phrasal verb "shore up" derives from the literal meaning of using wooden supports (shores) to prevent collapse.

3. Which word is closest in meaning to “bearing” as used in the sentence: “The ambassador maintained her dignified bearing throughout the contentious negotiations”?

In this context, "bearing" refers to one's posture, manner, or way of conducting oneself—essentially one's demeanor or comportment. The ambassador's "dignified bearing" describes her composed and stately manner of behavior. Option A (direction) refers to bearing in the navigational sense, which doesn't fit this context. Option B (tolerance) and Option E (endurance) relate to withstanding difficulty but don't capture the sense of personal manner. Option D (relevance) refers to bearing in the sense of having connection to something, as in "bearing on the matter," but this usage doesn't apply here. "Demeanor" perfectly captures the sense of personal manner and conduct.

4. Which of the following represents the best antonym for “ordeals”?

"Ordeals" refers to severe trials, tribulations, or painful experiences that test one's endurance and character. "Respites" (periods of rest, relief, or recovery from something difficult or unpleasant) serves as the most direct antonym, representing the opposite of prolonged suffering. Option A (celebrations) are positive events but don't directly oppose the concept of trials and tribulations. Option C (advantages) are beneficial circumstances but don't specifically counter the idea of painful experiences. Option D (diversions) are distractions or entertainments that might provide temporary relief but aren't the conceptual opposite of ordeals. Option E (conveniences) make life easier but don't represent the fundamental opposite of severe trials.

5. A politician who speaks eloquently would be LEAST likely to:

Speaking eloquently means communicating with fluent, persuasive, articulate, and graceful expression. Someone who speaks eloquently would be least likely to use rambling, disjointed sentences with tangents, as this contradicts the core qualities of eloquent speech: clarity, precision, and effective organization. Options A, B, D, and E all describe characteristics consistent with eloquent speech: sophisticated rhetorical techniques, clear articulation of complex ideas, linguistic mastery, and logical presentation. Eloquence specifically requires coherent, well-structured communication that serves the speaker's purpose effectively, making the scattered, unfocused approach described in Option C the antithesis of eloquent expression.
