Mixed vocabulary MCQ (Indore 2026 style)
Synonyms, Antonyms, Spelling · for IPMAT Indore, IPMAT Rohtak and JIPMAT
The idea
A hard word is used in a sentence and you choose its meaning as used there. IPMAT Indore 2026 asked five such vocabulary items with hard words; Rohtak and JIPMAT use the format too. The test is twofold: knowing rare words (sedulous, anodyne, noisome), and knowing that familiar words have secondary meanings (sanction, pedestrian, temper, close).
Textbook vs exam method
Textbook method
Know the meaning of the word; if it has several, pick the one that fits the sentence.
Exam method
- Read the sentence for its clue. a colon, a contrast (but, far from), a result (so... that), or an example.
- Predict the meaning in your own words. from the clue.
- Beware the first meaning you know. if the everyday meaning makes the sentence odd, the word is being used in another sense.
- Substitute each option. for the word; reject any option that breaks the logic of the sentence.
