Wisdom : Folly

Options:

Rescue : Help

Entire : Whole

Ponder : Think

Annoy : Please

Correct Answer:

Annoy : Please

Explanation:

The correct answer is OPTION 4 - Annoy : Please

The relationship between Wisdom and Folly is one of antonyms (opposites). Wisdom refers to the quality of having experience and good judgment, while folly refers to foolishness or a lack of good sense.

  • Option 1: Rescue : Help – These are synonyms (to rescue is a form of helping).

  • Option 2: Entire : Whole – These are synonyms (both mean complete).

  • Option 3: Ponder : Think – These are synonyms (to ponder means to think deeply).

  • Option 4: Annoy : Please – These are antonyms. To annoy is to irritate, while to please is to give satisfaction or pleasure. This matches the relationship in the question.
