Massive : Minute
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → Frantic-Calm
Given pair: Massive : Minute → opposites (antonyms) (massive means very large and heavy, and minute – pronounced my-NYOOT – means extremely small)
| Pair | Relationship |
|---|---|
| (1) Fragile : Brittle | near synonyms, not opposites (fragile means easily broken and brittle means hard but easily cracked) |
| (2) Foe : Opponent | synonyms (a foe is an enemy and an opponent is a person on the other side in a contest) |
| (3) Frantic : Calm (answer) | opposites, like massive and minute (frantic means wild and out of control because of fear or worry, and calm means peaceful and not excited) |
| (4) Fabricate : Construct | synonyms in the sense of making (to fabricate is to make or build something – or to invent a false story – and to construct is to build) |
