Memory trick · Prashant Sir

इसे तोड़िए: contra = against (contrary में भी) और dict = कहना (dictionary, diction में भी)। कही हुई बात के उलट बोलना ही contradiction है।

Split it: CONTRA means against (as in contrary) and DICT means to say (as in dictionary and diction). To speak against what has been said is a contradiction.

Exam note

Inconsistency और paradox पास के विकल्प हैं; agreement और consistency उल्टे। Verb contradict, adjective contradictory।

Inconsistency and paradox are close options; agreement and consistency are opposites. The verb is contradict and the adjective is contradictory.
