Question

Choose the correct word from the options which is similar to the word given in capitals in the sentence.
The officer was known for his INCORRUPTIBLE character.

• A. Venal
• B. Upright
• C. Dubious
• D. Expedient

Hint:

In synonym questions, eliminate opposites first to quickly identify the correct answer.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Concept: Synonym questions test understanding of meaning and tone.

Explanation: The word incorruptible means honest, morally strong, and not capable of being bribed or influenced by corruption. The closest synonym is upright, which refers to someone honest and principled.

Other options:

• Venal = easily bribed (opposite meaning)
• Dubious = doubtful or suspicious
• Expedient = convenient but not necessarily moral

Thus, option (B) is correct.
