Daily Vocabulary from Indian Newspapers (7 August 2025): DAILY QUIZ

1. The controversial urban development project was originally __________ for completion by 2026, but mounting environmental concerns and legal challenges have indefinitely postponed its implementation.

"Slated" means scheduled, designated, or planned for a particular purpose or time. In this context, it indicates the project was officially planned for completion by 2026. "Rescinded" means revoked or cancelled, which doesn't fit the temporal context. "Relegated" means demoted or assigned to a lower position. "Obviated" means made unnecessary or avoided, and "deprecated" means disapproved of or belittled. None of these alternatives capture the meaning of being scheduled or designated for a specific timeline.

2. The detective discovered the smuggling ring’s clandestine __________, complete with sophisticated surveillance equipment and multiple escape routes.

A "hideout" is a secret place where someone conceals themselves, particularly those engaged in illegal activities. This perfectly matches the context of a smuggling ring's secret base. While "sanctum" refers to a sacred or private place, it lacks the connotation of concealment from authorities. "Bastion" suggests a stronghold or fortress but doesn't necessarily imply secrecy. "Enclave" refers to a distinct territorial or cultural area within a larger one, and "citadel" denotes a fortress or stronghold, both lacking the element of concealment that characterizes a criminal hideout.

3. The critic’s review revealed not adoration for the acclaimed novelist’s latest work, but rather __________ for what she perceived as pretentious and overwrought prose.

"Disdain" means contempt or scorn, making it the perfect antonym for "adoration" (deep love, worship, or reverence). The context clearly establishes a contrast between adoration and a negative feeling toward the novelist's work. "Veneration," "reverence," "deference," and "esteem" are all synonyms or near-synonyms of adoration, expressing various degrees of respect, honor, or admiration. These options serve as sophisticated distractors because they're all positive emotions that could theoretically appear in literary criticism, but they fail to provide the necessary contrast with adoration.

4. In scientific research, __________ refers to the degree of exactness and consistency in measurements, distinguishing it from accuracy, which concerns how close those measurements are to the true value.

"Precision" specifically denotes the exactness, consistency, and reproducibility of measurements or procedures, particularly in scientific contexts. The question tests understanding of the technical distinction between precision (consistency of repeated measurements) and accuracy (closeness to true values). "Calibration" refers to the process of adjusting instruments for accuracy. "Methodology" encompasses the systematic approach to research. "Reliability" concerns the consistency of results over time, while "validity" addresses whether a test measures what it claims to measure. These are all important scientific concepts but don't specifically capture the nuanced definition of precision as described.

5. The master calligrapher sought to __________ her students’ work with the same sense of spiritual tranquility and aesthetic balance that had characterized traditional Eastern brush painting for centuries.

"Imbue" means to inspire, influence, or fill someone or something with a particular quality, feeling, or characteristic. In this context, it captures the teacher's intention to instill specific artistic and spiritual qualities in her students' work. While "saturate," "permeate," "infuse," and "suffuse" all suggest filling or spreading throughout, they typically refer to physical substances or more literal applications. "Imbue" specifically connotes the transmission of abstract qualities, values, or characteristics from one person to another, making it the most precise choice for describing how a master artist would pass on intangible artistic principles to students.
