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.

| 644 | SPOKESPERSON | a person who speaks on behalf of others | I had easily brushed off what Carlotta said, but the Italian Gymnastics spokesperson’s statement did bother me a bit. | I couldn’t imagine another term with this woman, and as long as I stayed on the honors English track I would be stuck being the spokesperson for the rest of my high school career. |
| 645 | STOIC | a person who is indifferent to pleasure or pain | She posed herself straight and rigid, like a statue, her rendition of a stoic Indian. | I did stop, out of shame mostly, because the hunted wireless girl was being so stoic about it. |
| 646 | TEETOTALER | a person who does not take alcoholic drinks | It may have been the memory of my father”open- collared, his tie loosened and stained, his eyes clouded and his breath heavy, glass in hand”that made me a teetotaler. | A teetotaler himself, he made his living buying and selling liquor. |
| 647 | TELLTALE | a person who enjoy talking about others private affairs | James taught Sammy how to put out a fire properly; how to cover it with dirt and then stamp on it and wait, to be sure no telltale smoke rose from the ashes. | But not before I see telltale redness in his eyes. |

| 652 | VANDAL | a person who damages public property | The soldier’s loudness annoyed him; this was a man who had abandoned his ogbunigwe and run off long before the vandals were close. | Four days later, vandals entered the site and placed live alligators in three portable toilets. |
| 653 | VERSATILE | a person who has many talents | Like any other performance skill, it can be learned with practice, and it is a skill that will help you become an extremely versatile instrumentalist. | It was because so much intricate care was taken to weave fine rugs in countries where rags were so culturally versatile. |
