In the realm of language proficiency assessments, mastering one word substitution (OWS) is pivotal, especially when preparing for exams such as the SSC, including the prestigious SSC CGL. From the foundational stages, like Class 3, students begin encountering these exercises, where a single word stands in for more complex concepts. As learners progress, they compile a growing list of one word substitutions to enhance their command over English. Examples of these one word substitutes abound, with terms like ‘cynosure’ highlighting the focal point and ‘ephemeral’ encapsulating fleeting moments. These exercises are not only integral for exams but also for broader linguistic proficiency in everyday English one word substitution scenarios. Embracing these substitutes provides an easy yet effective way to navigate the intricacies of language, ensuring a solid foundation for success in language assessments.

| 5 | CUSTOMS | a government tax on goods brought into the country | The term mass incarceration refers not only to the criminal justice system but also to the larger web of laws, rules, policies, and customs that control those labeled criminals both in and out of prison. | Why, then, do I feel an uneasy sense of guilt on approaching a customs barrier? |

| 18 | VENTRILOQUISM | ability to speak without moving your lips | As usual, she spoke without moving her mouth, which could only have been creepier if she’d had a ventriloquism puppet. | “Before there was anything at all, He was,” Prince sings, and then shifts into a divine ventriloquism: “And I heard Him say, “Beside me no other / I am.’ “ |
| 19 | AMEND | to change a law in order to improve it | By that, I mean I thought privately that we should have amended, or relaxed, our general non-engagement policy. | “A good zoo is how humans make amends.” |

| 84 | AMPHIBIAN | an animal that lives both in land and water | In the fourth grade he started a herpetology club, for anyone interested in toads, frogs, snakes, and various other amphibians and reptiles. | She had planned a second Surinam book with illustrations of other amphibians and reptiles, but could not manage it financially. |

| 87 | ORIENT | the eastern part of the world, especially china and japan | I pulled out my small notebook and looked at the map I had sketched earlier, trying to orient myself. | This is perhaps the most orienting part of the geek experience for many lads like Jesse: They see the Net as a separate world, their world. |
| 88 | OCCIDENT | the western part of the world, especially europe and america | However, using speech where everyone is reminded of the Nazi times and restricting fundamental rights such as religious freedom is certainly not the correct way to preserve values of the “Christian occident”. | The sun was so long in reaching the zenith, and so slow in passing down the steep ecliptic way to the occident. |

| 96 | FUSION | combining of the nuclei of atoms to form heavier nucleus | Novae occur only in binary systems and are powered by hydrogen fusion; supernovae occur in single stars and are powered by silicon fusion. | “We won’t really lose what we feel, not if we keep it clearly in mind. You never really have gotten the hang of fusion, have you, Rick?” |
| 97 | MONOTHEISM | belief in only one god | If monotheism was what counted, there would have been a scientific revolution in the Islamic and Orthodox worlds. | Both books trace the gradual emergence of monotheism from a background of polytheism. |
