In the realm of language proficiency assessments, mastering one word substitution (OWS) is pivotal, especially when preparing for exams such as the SSC, including the prestigious SSC CGL. From the foundational stages, like Class 3, students begin encountering these exercises, where a single word stands in for more complex concepts. As learners progress, they compile a growing list of one word substitutions to enhance their command over English. Examples of these one word substitutes abound, with terms like ‘cynosure’ highlighting the focal point and ‘ephemeral’ encapsulating fleeting moments. These exercises are not only integral for exams but also for broader linguistic proficiency in everyday English one word substitution scenarios. Embracing these substitutes provides an easy yet effective way to navigate the intricacies of language, ensuring a solid foundation for success in language assessments.

| 3214 | MESOMORPH | a person whose build is powerful, compact and muscular. | Then the hardcore bands from Southern California came up, and it felt like the ectomorphs were overtaken by the mesomorphs, all these thick-neck, Henry Rollins jocks. | Essentially, I’m your garden-variety mesomorph who doesn’t eat to live but, rather, who lives to eat her feelings. |
| 3215 | MIGRATORY | that move from one place to another. | Bach year these people, like thousands of others, tallied raptors along the four migratory flyways in North America”the Atlantic, Mississippi, Central, and Pacific flyways. | The airship approached from the south, like some giant migratory bird. |

| 3242 | ASTROLOGER | one who foretells events | I say “distressing” because if people believe astrologers and astrology, it’s frightening to consider whom or what else they’ll believe. | According to the astrologer for the Post, “a compromise will help ease tension”; useful, perhaps, but somewhat vague. |
| 3243 | REPORTER | one who reports news or conducts interviews for the newspaper or broadcasting media or press | Later that summer, when a far greater explosion would rock Durham, another reporter for the alternative Anvil, Elizabeth Tornquist, would put her finger squarely on this problem of white ignorance. | Although, this reporter has not quite figured out the strategy of members of the same household bidding against each other. |
| 3244 | NOVELIST | one who writes novels | I learned how a popular novelist like Dickens, writing for a middle-class audience, makes his readers aware of their ability to effect social reform. | Most important, Tawantinsuyu “managed to eradicate hunger,” the Peruvian novelist Mario Vargas Llosa noted. |
| 3245 | WRITER | one who writes books | I didn’t tell him that I was a writer. | “I’m a joke as far as Buz is concerned. He thinks people are strange if they even read books. Besides,” I added bitterly, “what would a writer be doing working out of a slave market?” |
| 3246 | AGRICULTURE | the art of tilling the soil | China had developed intensive agriculture based on millets in the north and rice in the south, and with domestic pigs, chickens, and water buffalo. | They had no intensive agriculture, and only questionably any agriculture at all. |

| 3254 | BREVITY | briefness; shortness of time | The terms could seem impolite to an outsider, but they reflected Farmer’s sense of humor, his quick mind, and his prejudice for brevity. | “Why? I wrote them a letter on why I was the answer to sliced bread,” is how Flom explains it, with characteristic brevity. |
| 3255 | CACOGRAPHIST | a person who is bad in spellings | Nine dancers, three musicians, two martial-arts experts and a calligraphist, all from Europe and Asia, unite on stage to conjure up a fascinating world that verges between science fiction and present-day life. | Kobo Daishi is the most famous of all Japanese Buddhist teachers; famous alike as a saint, as an artist, and as a calligraphist. |
| 3256 | CACOLOGY | bad choice of words or poor pronunciation | In addition to comparing digital technology to food, there is another compelling analogy. | We laughed at Ms. G’s analogy, and did not take her seriously. |
| 3257 | CALLIGRAPHY | the art of beautiful handwriting | There is mechanical drawing and calligraphy, and each student spends four hours a week on freehand drawing. | Then Tillie promised calligraphy lessons to the person who took the pen and ink, and Bella promised fabric painting lessons to the person who took the tuxedo T-shirt. |

| 3259 | CARTOGRAPHER | one who draws maps | When I was older, I wanted to be a cartographer, then a topographer. | First cartographers, then mathematicians, then anatomists, and then astronomers began to play the game, which was inherently competitive and immediately gave rise to priority disputes and, more slowly, to eponymic naming. |
| 3260 | CATHOLICITY | broad outlook, free from prejudice | In fact, a hyenas catholicity of taste is so indiscriminate it nearly forces admiration. | But while that genre catholicity has always been part of Mr. Brooks’s arsenal, he’s too savvy to ignore the country base. |

| 3262 | CHOREOGRAPHER | one who teaches dancing | Each plant and animal plays its part and Joel Salatin is the choreographer. | To this end she recruited Italian dancers, choreographers and a band of violinists, playing on the very instruments she had ordered for her son from Cremona. |

| 3266 | COLOSSUS | a person who is extremely important or large in size | Traditional histories like to equate Beethoven, the colossus of music in the early 1800s, with his contemporary Napoleon Bonaparte, revolutionary-turned-Emperor and serial military adventurer. | The colossus of Wagner is an inescapable reality of late-nineteenth- century music, indeed of recent Western civilisation. |
| 3267 | COMBUSTIBLE | that which can catch fire and burn easily | I read somewhere that it has combustible oil in it that the Indians used to start fires. | It was neither horse-drawn nor powered by a combustible engine. |
| 3268 | COMEDIAN | one who plays funny parts in plays or films | He got a great hand before the manager threw us out, and Fay said everyone thought I was a wonderful comedian and everyone liked my moron act. | Pegleg Bates, the one-legged tap dancer, was appearing, along with a band and a comedian. |
| 3269 | COMPILER | a person who brings out new books | She tracked the regulars on their daily transits through the park, assembling notes and speculations like the compilers of her almanacs. | I have steadily become a compiler of lives. |
| 3270 | CONSCRIPT | a person who is compelled by law to serve in the armed forces | This was not the Belgian Army, official conscripted protectors of white people, but a group of young men who held secret meetings in the woods behind our house. | “I told him you are my brother.

| 3271 | CONTEMPORARIES | belonging to or living at the same time | Learning sequences in music: A contemporary music learning theory. | His contemporaries are divided on the question, and his own notes are contradictory. |

| 3281 | DETERGENT | a cleaning agent, especially a synthetic substance | It infuriated Brave Orchid that her sister held up each dish between thumb and forefinger, squirted detergent on the back and front, and ran water without plugging up the drain. | They couldn’t manage to wash a coffee mug, yet they’d been more than willing to criticize the detergent manufacturer. |
| 3282 | DETRACTOR | a person who tries to make something less good by criticizing it | If Levy Pants was to succeed, the first step would be imposing a heavy hand upon its detractors. | The detractors asserted that the movie was an example of Western propaganda that sought to erase the fact that Cleopatra was an African woman. |
| 3283 | DOCUMENTARY | a film that gives facts about something | The character of Bobby is not in the film, but he is seen in documentary footage. | She’d wanted to go to a local showing of the documentary Bridegroom instead. |

| 3285 | EGALITARIAN | the belief that all people are equally important and should have the same rights and opportunities in life | Again, the Chathams and the atolls had the simplest, most egalitarian societies. | How could these hierarchical, acquisitive, market-oriented, monotheistic, ethnocentric newcomers have absorbed ideas and customs from the egalitarian, reciprocal, noncapitalistic, pantheistic, ethnocentric natives? |
| 3286 | ERR | make a mistake, do wrong | The Duke, then, erred in this election, and it was the cause of his ultimate ruin. | The odds would be with me, for I would be appealing to men bound by common ideals to judge with pity and understanding one of their brothers who erred and fell in struggle. |
| 3287 | ESPIONAGE | the act of spying | Washington found Church guilty of “criminal correspondence with the enemy” but did not go so far as to convict him of espionage. | No wonder that a modern spymaster called espionage a “wilderness of mirrors…an ever-fluid landscape where fact and illusion merge.” |
