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.

| 902 | REDUNDANCY | the state of not being necessary | Here’s a redundancy for you, a wording that seems to repeat itself: The reason Rex stayed home is because robbers tied him up. | Speaking of redundancies, think twice before using expressions like advance reservations, final conclusion, foreign import, free gift, prerecorded, refer back, or safe haven. |
| 903 | RELIGIOSITY | the state of being too religious | I thought it necessary to update some of the words so that the religiosity and naivety of the time, which were genuine, would not seem too quaint to the modem ear. | Speaking of the religiosity of racists, Maritain ob-serves: God is invoked . . . and He is invoked against the God of the spirit, of intelligence and love” excluding and hating this God. |

| 919 | UTOPIA | the state of highest perfection | Not that the Garden was ever a utopia, hell no, but before I only worried about GDs and Crowns. | According to Tanner, who’d leaned across his desk with his eyes ablaze and a determined finger pointed at me, Stan and the other fund-raisers/hostages, this watery utopia deserved our most committed efforts. |

| 933 | COMMENDATION | an official statement that publicly praises somebody | Miss Bennet was therefore established as a sweet girl, and their brother felt authorised by such commendation to think of her as he chose. | If that happened, the captain and the sergeant would have little choice but to take him off desk duty and put him back on patrol again”with a glowing commendation for his file. |

| 936 | DENIAL | a statement that says something is false | The hotel brought a breakfast to our room that, much to my delight, featured deli meat among many other denials of American breakfast constructions. | This is called a delaying tactic, and is sometimes more strategic than denial all by itself. |

| 943 | PARADOX | a statement that contains two impossible-looking opposite ideas | Frank saw that the paradox vanished if crystals were not as regular as suspected, but contained dislocations resulting in the perpetual presence of cozy corners into which new molecules could fit. | But if we examine the possible two-man races, a paradox appears. |
| 944 | PLATITUDE | a statement that has been repeated too many times | Pearl waited for a parental platitude to follow: Life isn’t fair, or Fair doesn’t always mean right. | He waited for her anger to come in fusillades of outraged motherhood, smothering southern platitudes, and Catholic theology. |

| 947 | PROPOSITION | a statement that shows an opinion | Blanca fought the destruction and decline with the ferocity of a lioness, but it was clear it was a losing proposition. | Maybe Father was dropping the hint that it was time for the villagers to reconsider the whole proposition of Tata Ndu. |
| 948 | QUOTATION | a statement that shows cost of particular piece of work | I have followed Apollodorus, but I have added the fragment from Simonides, and short quotations from other poets, notably Hesiod and Pindar. | The fact that she insisted on using her own lecture notes with added quotations from Chairman Mao instead of the mimeographed handouts made us respect her even more. |
| 949 | RETRACTION | a statement that is made to deny your previous statement | I slam my hand on the ramp’s retraction button”nothing. | Then a retraction: Petersburg was not quite in Grant’s hands”only the outworks. |
| 950 | TESTIMONIAL | a formal written statement about the quality of something | Real estate advertisements were full of testimonials to its location and appreciating values. | This cost them absolutely nothing, for Mr. Popper had written a testimonial saying: “Popper’s Performing Penguins thrive on Owens’ Oceanic Shrimp.” |

| 956 | AVARICIOUS | a person who is greedy for money | It was roughly four times what even the most avaricious moneylender would charge. | Finally, Colonel Meecham began his descent, every step a deliberate one, tortoise-slow, designed to augment the impatience of his giddily avaricious offspring. |
| 957 | BAILOUT | an act of giving money to an organization etc. that has very serious financial problems | It was like a rerun of the first Coach bailout when he came and picked me up from school and I said pretty much those exact words. | Many cities are going to be looking for a bailout. |

| 983 | SUBSIDY | money paid by government to reduce the costs of services, etc. | Overlooked in these reports was the fact that the program in question was a pilot project that offered far more generous child care and other subsidies than Minnesota’s actual welfare reform program. | At the same time, housing subsidies for home owners”who tend to be far more affluent than renters”have remained at their usual munificent levels. |
