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 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → Brave : Bold
Find the link between the two words of each pair. In three pairs the words are opposite in meaning.
Option (1) Happy : Sad — happy means feeling pleased and sad means feeling unhappy: opposites.
Option (2) Early : Late — early means before the usual time and late means after it: opposites.
Option (3) Brave : Bold — brave and bold both mean not afraid: the words have similar meanings.
Option (4) Strong : Weak — strong means having great power and weak means having little: opposites.
Only in Brave : Bold do the words have similar meanings, so it is the odd pair.
