Daily Vocabulary from Indian Newspapers (17 July 2025): DAILY QUIZ

1. Which of the following best captures the meaning of “conventional” as used in academic discourse?

"Conventional" refers to something that conforms to established standards, traditional practices, or widely accepted norms. In academic contexts, it often describes mainstream approaches, orthodox methodologies, or commonly accepted theories. Option A is incorrect as it describes the opposite—innovative approaches. Option C confuses "conventional" with "technical" or "specialized." Option D describes unconventional or eccentric methods, which is antithetical to the word's meaning. Option E relates to "convention" in a legal sense, which is a different usage of the root word.

2. The journalist’s investigation revealed a complex _______ involving multiple government agencies working clandestinely to suppress information about environmental hazards.

"Conspiracy" is the only option that captures the essence of a secret, coordinated plan among multiple parties to achieve a hidden agenda, often involving deception or illegal activities. The context clues "clandestinely" and "suppress information" strongly suggest secretive, coordinated action. Option A (bureaucracy) refers to administrative systems but lacks the secretive element. Option C (hierarchy) describes organizational structure, not secretive planning. Option D (methodology) refers to systematic approaches, missing the secretive and potentially harmful aspects. Option E (controversy) indicates public disagreement but doesn't imply secret coordination.

3. Which term is most synonymous with “silicosis”?

"Pneumoconiosis" is the broader medical category that encompasses silicosis and other lung diseases caused by inhaling mineral dust particles. Silicosis is specifically a type of pneumoconiosis caused by crystalline silica dust inhalation. While the other options are respiratory conditions, they have different etiologies. Option B (bronchitis) is inflammation of bronchial tubes, often from infection or irritation. Option C (emphysema) involves alveolar destruction, typically from smoking. Option D (tuberculosis) is a bacterial infection. Option E (rhinitis) affects nasal passages, not lungs. Only pneumoconiosis shares the same pathological mechanism of dust particle accumulation causing lung fibrosis.

4. An economist studying urban development would most likely use the term “externalities” to describe:

"Externalities" in economics refers to costs or benefits that affect parties not directly involved in an economic transaction. The factory pollution example perfectly illustrates a negative externality—the factory's production creates environmental costs borne by the surrounding community, not by the factory itself. Option A describes internal costs, which are internalized by the company. Option B relates to international trade impacts but not specifically externalities. Option D describes regulatory frameworks, not externalities. Option E refers to market dynamics and profit distribution, not external effects on third parties. Externalities specifically concern the "spillover" effects that impact individuals or groups not party to the original economic activity.

5. Which of the following represents the most direct antonym of “subsidies”?

"Taxes" represents the most direct antonym to "subsidies" because they function as opposite fiscal mechanisms. Subsidies involve government payments or support to reduce costs for recipients, while taxes involve government collection of money from individuals or businesses, increasing their costs. Both are government fiscal tools but work in opposite directions regarding financial flow. Option A (investments) involves spending but doesn't necessarily oppose subsidies. Option B (penalties) are punitive but don't directly contrast with subsidies' support function. Option D (regulations) are rules, not financial mechanisms. Option E (incentives) actually work similarly to subsidies by encouraging certain behaviors, making them more synonymous than antonymous.
