Dear Students, SSC CGL 2017 Exam will be conducted from 1st August to 20 August 2017. For vocabulary related questions, you need to read a lot and memorize the words so that you can answer all the questions based on vocab. Your reading habit can make all the difference. If you are not able to read a newspaper for SSC Exam, here we are providing vocab words based on the Hindu newspaper editorial.
1.Palpable (adjective)
Meaning: (of a feeling or atmosphere) so intense as to seem almost tangible.
Synonyms: perceptible, perceivable, visible, noticeable, appreciable, discernible, detectable, observable, tangible, recognizable, notable, unmistakable, transparent.
Example: “For all the killing and beheading they do on the LoC (Line of Control), we thrashed them so badly on the cricket field yesterday,” my Uber driver told me, with a palpable tinge of pride in his voice, the morning after the Indian cricket team won the ICC Champions Trophy match against Pakistan on June 4.
Meaning: a temporary prohibition of an activity.
Synonyms: embargo, ban, prohibition, suspension, postponement, stay, stoppage, halt, freeze, standstill, respite, hiatus, delay, deferment, deferral, adjournment.
Example: After the GEAC approved Bt brinjal for commercial production, the then Environment Minister, Jairam Ramesh, placed a moratorium after undertaking extensive public consultation.
3.Havoc (noun)
Meaning: widespread destruction.
Synonyms: devastation, destruction, damage, desolation, depredation, despoliation, ruination, ruin, disaster, ravagement, waste, catastrophe.
Example: The widespread havoc that chemical pesticides and fertilizers have caused since the Green Revolution only adds credence to these concerns.
4.Undecipherable (adjective)

5.Imbroglio (noun)

Synonyms: complicated situation, complication, complexity, problem, difficulty,
predicament, plight, trouble, entanglement, confusion, muddle, mess, quandary, dilemma.
Example: Consequently, the refrain of external instigation and Pakistan’s role is inadequate to explain the current imbroglio. Urging the security forces to exercise restraint and avoid collateral damage during operations also makes little sense.
6.Collateral (noun)
Meaning: something pledged as security for repayment of a loan, to be forfeited in the
event of a default.
Synonyms: security, surety, guarantee, guaranty, pledge, bond, assurance, insurance, indemnity, indemnification.
Example: Urging the security forces to exercise restraint and avoid collateral damage during operations also makes little sense. The issues are far deeper than urging all stakeholders to allay the apprehensions and misgivings of the Kashmir youth. Something very different has occurred and something new needs to be attempted.
7.Biblical (adjective)
Meaning: relating to or contained in the Bible.
Example: THE earliest known description of surrogacy is an ugly biblical story: in Genesis, the childless Sara sends her husband to bed with her maidservant, Hagar, and takes the child as her own.
8.Impetuousness (adjective)
Meaning: Acting or done quickly with little or inadequate thought.
Synonyms: impetuous, hasty, headlong, precipitate

9.Orthodoxy (noun)
Meaning: authorized or generally accepted theory, doctrine, or practice.
Synonyms: doctrine, belief, conviction, creed, dogma, credo, theory, view, idea, tenet, teaching, practice, received wisdom, article of faith.
Example: Just as dangerous, and no less important to ordinary Americans, however, is Mr Trump’s plan for the economy. It treats orthodoxy, accuracy and consistency as if they were simply to be negotiated away in a series of earth-shattering deals.
10.Compliance (noun)
Meaning: the action or fact of complying with a wish or command.
Example: But why are they doing this? It surely can’t be that they are celebrating the roll-out of the new indirect tax regime. By all accounts, most companies are quaking, fearing the huge increase in compliance costs and paperwork that GST will bring.
