PREFACE
I have great pleasure in placing this book before the aspirants of Staff
Selection Commission’s Combined Graduate Level, Combined Higher
Secondary Level, Central Police Organization and other exams. This book
has been compiled to meet the continuous demands and requirements of the
aspirants appearing not only for SSC exams but also for Bank and other
Competitive exams conducted by Central and State Governments.
Although this book has been compiled with the prime intension of providing
all the Previous Years One Words Substitutions asked in SSC Exams till
date but I thought it would be injustice not to include some other important
English vocabulary words which are frequently used and asked. Therefore.
this book has rather been compiled a bit more comprehensive, so that
students can use it even for other exams and most importantly for gradual
self-learning and improvement of English Vocabulary.
I welcome comments and suggestions from the readers of this book.
All the Best. 
Nikhil Gupta
HOW TO USE THIS BOOK?
First of all, I want you to know that it is not expected to learn each and every
words / vocabulary given in this book, so try not to mug up all the words
without thinking. This book has been divided into several parts, which
serves distinct objectives. Therefore, you need to refer and learn
vocabulary according to your needs and the requirement of the
examination.
One of the main objective of compiling this book was to provide all One Word
Substitutions asked by SSC till the very date for SSC CGL / CHSL 2018.
Hence, I have added all the new vocabulary asked in SSC exams even
conducted in the years 2019 (SSC CPO 2018 Exam, SSC GD Constable 2018,
SSC Stenographer 2018, SSC Selection Posts VI, and SSC JHT 2018).
PART A:
This is very essential part, as an SSC aspirant, you need to cover this part
compulsorily. Almost 75% plus questions asked in SSC exams are from this
part only. Recently SSC Conducted CPO, GD Constable etc exams and I
found that more than 75% of the OWS were repeated and had been asked in
previous years.

Part A2 gives you almost 3500 OWS, sorted alphabetically. The last
column #A indicated the number of times this word has been asked / used
in SSC Exams.

Part A1 is for last minute revision, which includes Top 500 OWS which
have been asked repetitively in SSC exams. This list has been
sorted based on number of times the vocabulary has been appeared.
Symbols used:
SN., SNo. SR. No. etc are denoting Serial Number.
#A: Number of times a word has been appeared / asked in SSC Exams
// : Alternate Phrases used to ask same word substitution
/ : used with either of the words.
PART B:
This section contain vocabulary frequently used in The Hindu Newspaper.
It is often seen that many of these vocabularies appear in one exam or other.
Moreover, it contains some of the legal or technical words that you are
expected to know as an educated person. A great knowledge of this part not
only increases your vocabulary but it will help you to read faster. Yes, you
will read the Hindu much faster and this will serve a boon for your Reading
Comprehension (Passage, Cloze Tests etc) part of Competitive exams.
PART C:
This section contains a list of special technical vocabularies which are
frequently asked in SSC and other competitive examinations. These terms
are technical and you need to pay little attention in this section. It may be
noted that though some of the vocabularies are more frequent, while some
are rarely used. It is advisable to use selective reading, if you have time
constraint. Do not attempt to mug up all the vocabulary (in one go).
PART D:
This is practice section and includes 50 short tests to gauge your learning.
This is mandatory part for SSC aspirants and includes recently asked One
Word Substitution MCQs of SSC.
PART E:
This is an appendix and is very useful to understand etymology. Once you
learn the meaning of a root word it would be very easy to learn similar words
and even to guess the words in exam when you have not studied it. This part
is again for self-learning which must be gradual. Do not try to cover this
part completely for Tier 1 of CGL 2018, though your gradual learning will
help you in Tier 2 and many other exams.
This page is dedicated to my beloved
SSC Aspirants.

Words
Ballad
Definition
A poem or song narrating a story in short stanzas.
2
Concrete
Poetry in which the meaning or effect is conveyed partly or
wholly by visual means, using patterns of words or letters and
other typographical devices
Two lines of poetry that rhyme
This is a particular type of lyric that is written to mourn the
passing of something or someone.
This is a very, very long poem that tells a story. Epic poems are
narrative poems that are long enough to be in a book of their
own, rather than an anthology
These are very short, witty poems that make a pithy
pronouncement about something. Usually they are written as a
couplet.
Epitaphs are poems about the dead that are written to be on a
tombstone; this means they are usually very short.
Sounds that are very pleasant to the ear. The opposite of
cacophony
A short poem which depicts the rustic life of people
A direct comparison between two dissimilar items. She is a
monster is a metaphor comparing a girl to a monster.
This is a type of metaphor in which a reference point is
substituted for the thing to which reference is actually made.
The pen is mightier than the sword
A fictitious prose narrative of book length, typically
representing character and action with some degree of realism
Eight lines of poetry that have a rhyme scheme
This is a very serious form of the lyric; it is written about a
serious topic and is very dignified, if not stately, in tone and
style
An oxymoron is a pair of single word opposites placed side by
side for dramatic effect. A contradiction in terms. For example,
“cold fire” or “sick health” or “jumbo shrimp”.
A large oxymoron. An apparently contradictory statement
that, despite the contradiction, has an element of truth in it.
Wordsworth’s “the child is the father of the man” is a
paradoxical statement.

Definition
A pastoral is a poem that is set in the countryside. It often
presents an unrealistic, idealistic notion of country living:
happy shepherds, lovely shepherdesses, contented flocks of
sheep, sunny meadows, and gentle weather
Personification A comparison between a non-human item and a human so that
the non-human item is given human characteristics.
Quatrain
Four lines of poetry that have a rhyme scheme
Satire
A style of writing that has the goal of mocking or scorning an
individual, an institution, or society as a whole.
Sestet
Six lines of poetry that have a rhyme scheme
Simile

“as” to make the comparison. The stars are like diamonds in
the sky is a simile, comparing stars to diamonds.
