American Independence was a great blow to the **invincible** image of Great Britain.
- Avulnerable
- Bimpregnable
- Cunbeatable
- Dinsurmountable
Explanation
'Invincible' means too powerful to be defeated, unbeatable. The antonym must mean vulnerable to defeat. Option (a) 'vulnerable' means susceptible to harm or defeat, the direct opposite. Options (b) 'impregnable', (c) 'unbeatable', and (d) 'insurmountable' are all synonyms of invincible, not antonyms. The sentence contrasts Britain's perceived invincibility with the blow of American independence. Hence option A is correct. Cross-checked with Oswaal CDS Yearwise Solved Papers.
