Daily Vocabulary from Indian Newspapers (18 July 2025): DAILY QUIZ

1. The heated political debate deteriorated rapidly when opposing supporters engaged in __________, forcing security personnel to intervene and restore order to the convention hall.

Fisticuffs refers to fighting with fists; physical combat or brawling. The context clues indicate that the situation escalated beyond verbal disagreement to require security intervention, suggesting physical altercation. Vituperation (harsh criticism) and polemics (controversial arguments) represent verbal attacks but wouldn't typically require security intervention. Dialectics refers to logical discussion of ideas, while rhetoric involves persuasive speaking—neither suggests the physical confrontation implied by the need for security personnel.

2. Which of the following best captures the meaning of “epistemic” as used in philosophical discourse?

Epistemic derives from epistemology, the branch of philosophy concerned with knowledge—how we know what we know, what constitutes valid knowledge, and the relationship between the knower and the known. While philosophy encompasses ethics (A), aesthetics (C), metaphysics (D), and logic (E), epistemic specifically refers to knowledge-related questions rather than these other philosophical domains. The term frequently appears in academic contexts discussing "epistemic beliefs," "epistemic communities," or "epistemic uncertainty."

3. In the context of describing a chaotic confrontation, which word most closely parallels “melee”?

Fracas, like melee, describes a noisy, disorderly fight or quarrel involving multiple participants in close quarters. Both words emphasize confusion and general tumult rather than organized combat. A skirmish (A) suggests a minor military engagement with more structure than a melee implies. A siege (C) involves prolonged encirclement, while an ambush (D) requires premeditation and surprise. A sortie (E) is an organized military attack from a defensive position. Only fracas captures the essential chaos and close-quarters confusion that defines a melee.

4. A critical thinker would most likely identify sophistry in which of the following scenarios?

Sophistry involves the deliberate use of clever but fallacious reasoning to deceive or manipulate, often making the worse argument appear better through rhetorical skill rather than logical validity. The politician's use of misleading analogies and false equivalencies exemplifies this—employing superficially clever arguments that are fundamentally unsound but designed to confuse or mislead rather than illuminate truth. The other options represent legitimate intellectual activities: mathematical rigor (A), ethical advocacy (B), pedagogical clarity (D), and scientific honesty (E). These lack the essential element of sophistry: the intentional use of deceptive reasoning.

5. Which term represents the most precise antonym for “constitutive” in academic discourse?

Constitutive refers to something essential to the very nature or existence of something else—a fundamental, necessary component that helps establish or define the entity in question. "Accidental" provides the most precise philosophical antonym, referring to properties or characteristics that are non-essential to something's fundamental nature or identity. While peripheral (A), supplementary (B), extraneous (D), and incidental (E) all suggest non-central importance, "accidental" specifically contrasts with "constitutive" in philosophical terminology, where accidental properties can be removed without changing the essential nature of the subject, whereas constitutive elements cannot.
