From the given options, select the one that carried the same relation as:
Subsequent : Prior
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is OPTION 1 Durable : Fragile
“Subsequent : Prior” shows a relationship of opposites (antonyms), where “subsequent” means coming after and “prior” means coming before.
Similarly, “Durable : Fragile” are opposites, as durable means long-lasting and fragile means easily breakable.
Other Options:
- Option (2) Pristine : Unspoiled- Both words convey the same idea of something being pure, clean, or untouched. This is a synonym relationship, not opposite.
- Option (3) Remittance : Payment- A remittance is a type of payment (usually money sent). This shows a category or specific-to-general relationship, not opposition.
- Option (4) Rekindle : Reawaken- Both words mean to revive or bring back something. Again, this is a synonym relationship, not antonym.
