Memory trick · Prashant Sir

Delay में 'ढीले' सुनिए। ढीले लोग हर काम में delay करते हैं, क्योंकि वे समय पर काम करते ही नहीं। भुगतान पर लगी औपचारिक रोक के लिए book का शब्द moratorium याद रखिए।

Hear 'dheele' (slack, loose) in DELAY. Slack, lazy people always cause delay, because they never do the work at the right time. For a formal delay of payments, remember the book's word moratorium.

Exam note

Synonym में postponement, deferment, lag; antonym में hasten, expedite। Procrastination = बार-बार टालने की आदत।

Postponement, deferment and lag are the standard synonyms; hasten and expedite are the antonyms. Procrastination is the habit of delaying again and again.
