@ DMG

Its good to use stuff like GRE, SAT,GMAT,TOEFL,IELTS. But at times we need to search for this much difficult words in common dictionaries too. I found them in Oxford and Encarta. Hope they would be helpful for u.

I dont understad why FCPS is bending towards such types of english,,,,,,,,,,,

Does it make one a good Bureaucrate a good administrator? i dont believe so,,,,,

it makes css only a game of luck which can be passed, at times, by an ordinary minded person, which can result in the bad administration of our country.

What are ur views?

May be u r right to an extent. But the remaining part of paper is just to test our english. It is not a fuss.

Angry yes, very strange
yes, why fpsc is inclining to adopt such vocabulary question in the paper,if those words are hardly used.
Aren't the learning of such words is volatile?
If such difficult words are committed to memory, it makes the style of our english grandiloquent because one uses those words unintentionally which has been learned.
Like many complex problems have solutions, how can one ace this odd vocabulary question?Plz, elaborate on the solution of beating this question.

No doubt, u guys are always most welcome. I believe that Phyric is a chemical terminology. Well i got the words like Physic, Pyric, Phylic, Phyrric, Psyco, etc but could not get this Phylic word. The most relevant one is Phyrric. A pyrrhic is a metrical foot used in formal poetry. It consists of two short syllables. It is also known as a dibrach.

OK i will post its proper meaning if i could get it somewhere.

Regards

Respected Impossible, thank you very much for such comprehensive reply.
yes this is the word "Phyrric", i came across this word while studying old book of wars. This word was in composite form, like.,

"Phyrric-Triumph",

From your source definition, it signifies that Imaginary victory referes to "Phyrric Triumph" and it sounds the same in that contaxt.

Book: 48 Laws of Power
Author: Robert Greene
Page No: 231.

Please give me the source of your defintion. it seems to be absolutely correct.

Thanks,
