Memory trick · Prashant Sir

जूते में चुभता एक छोटा-सा कंकड़ सोचिए — हर छोटी चुभन पर ध्यान जाता है। Scrupulous व्यक्ति ऐसा ही होता है, जो हर छोटी detail पर ध्यान दे। Careless, lax और reckless इसके उल्टे हैं।

Picture a tiny sharp pebble inside your shoe: you notice every small prick. A SCRUPULOUS person is like that, paying attention to every little detail. Careless, lax and reckless are its opposites, and 'unscrupulous' means without moral scruples.

Exam note

Synonym में meticulous, conscientious और punctilious; antonym में careless, lax और negligent आते हैं। ध्यान दीजिए — unscrupulous (बेईमान) इसका उल्टा है, synonym नहीं।

Synonyms offered are meticulous, conscientious and punctilious; antonyms are careless, lax and negligent. Watch the trap: unscrupulous (dishonest) is its opposite, not a synonym.
