NDA (I) 2024 General Ability Test · Question 46 of 146

Correct — A, deported. 'Banished' means to be officially expelled or driven out of a country or place, which matches 'deported' — forced to leave. 'Called back' is the opposite, a recall, while 'accepted' and 'notified' have nothing to do with expulsion.

• (b)called back — Means to summon someone back, the reverse of sending them away, so it is an antonym of banished.
• (c)accepted — Means received or welcomed, which contradicts being expelled.
• (d)notified — Means informed or told; it has no connection to expulsion.

A synonym item — 'banished' means expelled or driven out, so its nearest match is 'deported'.
