💡 Yaad rakhne ki trick: Antonym question mein pehle word ka synonym socho, phir uska ulta dhundho. Options mein jo word ka synonym hai woh trap hai.
⚠️ Exam Traps:
- Question "synonym" maang raha hai ya "antonym" — dhyan se padho; har exam mein kuch log yahin galti karte hain.
- Similar-looking words: eminent (prasiddh) vs imminent (sar par), elicit (nikalwana) vs illicit (avaidh), complement vs compliment.
