Prashant Sir Ke Tathya (Prashant Sir's Notes):
Exam preparation ke dauraan students ko aksar "bewildering" content milta hai jo unhe overload kar deta hai. Is shabd ka use aap tab kar sakte ho jab kisi situation ko samajhne ke liye extra effort ya guidance ki zarurat ho.

Yaad Karne Ka Tarika (Memory Tip):

Vastavik Jeevan Me Upyog (Real-World Application):
"Bewildering" ka use real life mein tab hota hai jab aapko ek naye sheher mein bina map ke navigate karna ho, tax documents samajhne ho, ya koi unexpected life event handle karna ho. Yeh word aapke confusion ko sahi tareeke se express karta hai.

"Ambivalent" ka matlab hai mixed ya contradictory feelings hona. Matlab ek hi cheez ke liye ek saath positive aur negative emotions feel karna. Jaise kisi naye sheher shift hone par — ek taraf excitement hota hai naye experiences ka, aur dusri taraf sadness hota hai purane doston ko chhodne ka.

Arth (Meaning): Mixed ya contradictory feelings rakhna (Adjective)

Sochiye (Think About It):
Kya ambivalent rehna decision-making mein kabhi faydemand ho sakta hai? Kab ambiguity ko accept karna judgment lene se better hota hai?
Chhoti Kriya (Quick Activity):
Kisi bade decision ke baare mein sochiye jisme aap ambivalent the. Ek chhoti reflection likhiye jisme "ambivalent" shabd kam se kam do baar use ho.

Arth (Meaning): Dayalu aur madadgar; goodwill aur generosity dikhane wala (Adjective)

Prashant Sir Ke Tathya (Prashant Sir's Notes):
Benevolent ka opposite hota hai tyrant ya malevolent. "Bene" ka matlab hota hai "good". Jab koi leader ya organization apne influence ko kindness aur selflessness ke saath use kare, tab "benevolent" sahi word hai. Charities aur good deeds describe karne mein bhi yeh shabd kaam aata hai.
