Choose antonyms of the given words.

Question 1. 'सूर्यास्त:' इति शब्दस्य विरुद्धार्थकः शब्दः कः?
(क) सूर्यास्तमनम्
(ख) सूर्योदयः
(ग) सूर्यारम्भः
(घ) सूर्यान्तः

(घ) दीपके
Answer: (ग) दिवा

Exam Tip: Learn words that represent opposite times of the day or conditions.

Question 3. 'निगूढः' इति शब्दस्य विरुद्धार्थकः शब्दः कः?
(क) अगुप्तः
(ख) आच्छादितः
(ग) प्रच्छन्नः
(घ) छद्म
Answer: (ग) प्रच्छन्नः
In simple words: The opposite of 'निगूढः' (secret, hidden) is 'प्रच्छन्नः', meaning covered or concealed. This seems to be a slight mismatch in options. 'प्रच्छन्नः' is more a synonym for 'निगूढः'. If 'निगूढः' means hidden, 'अगुप्तः' (unhidden) would be the direct antonym, but since 'प्रच्छन्नः' is given as the answer, it's taken as the closest available option, perhaps implying "well-hidden" vs. "barely hidden". Rechecking, the provided answer for 'निगूढः' is 'प्रच्छन्नः' which means concealed/hidden. This is actually a synonym. Let's assume there is a slight error in the question or options if an exact antonym like 'प्रकाशितः' (revealed) or 'अगुप्तः' (unhidden) is not given. Sticking to the provided answer 'प्रच्छन्नः'. However, if 'निगूढः' implies completely hidden, 'प्रच्छन्नः' could be taken as 'partially hidden' or 'concealed' but still not fully revealed. But they are very close. I will mention this in the "In simple words" section.
In simple words: 'निगूढः' means hidden or secret. The provided antonym 'प्रच्छन्नः' also means concealed or covered, which is actually more of a synonym. A true antonym would mean revealed or unhidden.

Exam Tip: Be careful with words that have very close meanings, and if direct antonyms are not available, choose the option that is most conceptually opposite, or the one indicated as correct if an exact antonym is lacking.

Question 4. 'प्रविष्टम्' इति शब्दस्य विरुद्धार्थकः शब्दः कः?
(क) निर्गतम्
(ख) आगतम्
(ग) संगतम्
(घ) अनांगतम्
Answer: (क) निर्गतम्
In simple words: The opposite of 'प्रविष्टम्' (entered) is 'निर्गतम्', meaning exited or gone out.

Exam Tip: Understand the prefixes that indicate direction (e.g., 'प्र-' for entry, 'निर्-' for exit) to determine antonyms for verbs of movement.

Question 5. 'जरा' इति शब्दस्य विरुद्धार्थकः शब्दः कः?
(क) वार्धक्यम्
(ख) स्थाविरम्
(ग) शैशवम्
(घ) बहु
Answer: (ग) शैशवम्
In simple words: The opposite of 'जरा' (old age) is 'शैशवम्', which refers to childhood or infancy.

Exam Tip: Know the antonyms for different stages of life or conditions of age.

4. सन्धि विच्छेदं कुरुत –
Dissolve sandhis.

Question 1. 'किञ्चिदपि' एतस्य सन्धिविच्छेदः कः?
(क) किञ्चि + दपि
(ख) किञ्चित् + अपि
(ग) किंचि + तपि

(क) विनष्ट + स्मि
(ख) विनष्ट + अस्मि
(ग) विनष्टः + अस्मि
(घ) विनष्टो + स्मि
Answer: (ग) विनष्टः + अस्मि
In simple words: The word 'विनष्टोऽस्मि' is correctly split as 'विनष्टः + अस्मि', involving a visarga sandhi where the visarga changes to 'ओ' and 'अ' is dropped.

Exam Tip: Pay attention to visarga sandhi rules, especially when a visarga is followed by a vowel or certain consonants.

Question 3. 'एतच्छुत्वा' एतस्य सन्धिविच्छेदः कः?
(क) एत + छुत्वा
(ख) एतत् + श्रुत्वा
(ग) एत + श्रुत्वा
(घ) एतम् + छुत्वा
Answer: (ख) एतत् + श्रुत्वा
In simple words: The word 'एतच्छुत्वा' is correctly divided into 'एतत् + श्रुत्वा', where 'त्' changes to 'च्' and 'श्' changes to 'छ्' due to combination rules.

Exam Tip: Practice the rules of consonant sandhi, particularly when a final 'त्' combines with 'श्' or other sibilants.
