Q4
EnglishVocabulary: Meaning, Synonyms & Antonyms
The word vicissitude means
- a.change
- b.stagnation
- c.uniformity
- d.stability
Answer: (A) change
'Vicissitude' (usually plural, as in 'the vicissitudes of life') means a change of circumstances or fortune, typically an unwelcome one; it comes from Latin vicis, 'turn, change'. Stagnation, uniformity and stability all imply the absence of change, so they work as antonyms here. Synonyms worth noting: fluctuation, mutability, reversal, ups and downs.
