Question

Select the most appropriate word from the options provided to fill in the blank in the given sentence.
I am not ___ to a steaming hot cup of coffee after dinner.

A.

avert

B.

averse

C.

advert

D.

adverse

Correct option is B


The correct option is (b) averse.

Explanation:
The sentence implies that the speaker does not have any strong objection to having a hot cup of coffee after dinner. The word averse means having a strong dislike or opposition to something, and the phrase not averse to means willing to accept or enjoy something.

Correct answer word – averse:
Averse (adjective) means having a strong feeling of opposition, dislike, or reluctance towards something. It is always followed by the preposition to.
(Hindi meaning: विरुद्ध / अनिच्छुक)
Example: She is not averse to trying new cuisines.

Meanings of other options:

  • (a) Avert – A verb meaning to turn away or prevent (टालना / रोकना); e.g., to avert a disaster. Cannot be used as an adjective.
  • (c) Advert – Means an advertisement, or a verb meaning to refer to something (विज्ञापन / ध्यान देना); not appropriate here.
  • (d) Adverse – An adjective meaning unfavourable or harmful (प्रतिकूल); e.g., adverse weather conditions. It is not followed by to in this context and does not convey personal dislike.

So the correct answer is (b)
