Four pairs of words are given. In three pairs the words are related in the same way. Choose the pair in which the words are related differently.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → Anger : Rage
Find the link between the two words of each pair. In three pairs the words are opposite in meaning.
Option (1) Anger : Rage — rage is very strong anger: the words have similar meanings.
Option (2) Victory : Defeat — victory is winning and defeat is losing: opposites.
Option (3) Humble : Proud — humble means modest and proud means thinking highly of oneself: opposites.
Option (4) Scarce : Plentiful — scarce means too little and plentiful means more than enough: opposites.
Only in Anger : Rage do the words have similar meanings, so it is the odd pair.
