Question:

From the given options, select the one that carried the same relation as:

Subsequent : Prior

Options:

Durable : Fragile

Pristine : Unspoiled

Remittance : Payment

Rekindle: Reawaken

Correct Answer:

Durable : Fragile

Explanation:

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.
