Memory trick · Prashant Sir

याद रखने के लिए heretic में 'हरि का critic' सुनिए — जो प्रचलित धार्मिक मान्यता की आलोचना करे। और hermit में 'हरि के लिए मर मिटे' — जो संसार छोड़कर अकेला रहे।

To remember it, hear 'Hari ka critic' (a critic of God) in HERETIC — someone who criticises accepted religious belief. Its partner HERMIT can be heard as 'Hari ke liye mar mite' (one who gives up the world for God), a person who lives alone.

Exam note

SSC heretic के साथ apostate (धर्म छोड़ने वाला), iconoclast (परंपरा पर प्रहार करने वाला) और hermit (एकांतवासी) रखता है; heresy उस मत की noun है।

SSC places heretic beside apostate (one who abandons his faith), iconoclast (one who attacks traditions) and hermit (one who lives alone); heresy is the noun for the belief itself.
