Vocabulary · solved example

India's shift to digital payments has been fastest where it was least expected: among small merchants who once dealt only in cash. A vegetable seller who a decade ago would have waved away anything but coins now displays a printed code and is paid in seconds. The convenience is real, but so is a quieter change in behaviour. Because every digital rupee leaves a record, a seller who accepts them builds, without meaning to, a history of sales that a lender can read. For the first time, a trader with no property to pledge has something a bank will look at. Yet the same visibility cuts both ways. A record that can earn a loan can also attract a tax notice, and many small sellers, sensing this, keep one foot in cash. The state gains an unprecedented view of the informal economy; the citizen weighs the benefit of credit against the cost of being seen. What looks like a simple story of technology spreading is really a negotiation, still unsettled, over how much of a small trader's life the system should be able to observe.

Which word is most nearly OPPOSITE in meaning to 'convenience' as used in the passage?

Benefit
DifficultyCorrect
Comfort
Ease

Solution

Convenience means ease or comfort, so its opposite is difficulty. The other three are close synonyms of convenience.

Vocabulary · solved example

Choose the word most nearly OPPOSITE in meaning to SCARCE.

rare
limited
abundantCorrect
insufficient
meagre

Solution

'Scarce' means in short supply, so its opposite is 'abundant', meaning plentiful. Rare, limited, insufficient and meagre are all near synonyms of scarce.
