One Word Substitutes for Profession/ Research

One Word Substitution approaches the usage of a particular phrase by replacing a wordy phrase or sentence and making it shorter, concise, and clearer to apprehend.

If one word becomes identical with the sentence, and present the same meaning as that of a wordy sentence, it is called one word substitute. The best way to master this idea is to examine their meanings by placing them in a specific sentence or visualizing them through an exciting story. One phrase substitution questions regularly occur in many aggressive tests including SBI PO, united states, CAPF, CDS, RRB, SSC, and so forth.

One word Substitution is one of the necessary parts of vocabulary. It truly means that a sentence has to get replaced with a single phrase.
