Question:

From the given options, select the pair of words which carries the same relationship to the given pair of words:

Resolute : Determined

Options:

Appease : Frighten

Hinder : Assist

Bustle : Motionless

Miniature : Small

Correct Answer:

Appease : Frighten

Explanation:

The answer is Appease : Frighten.

The words resolute and determined have similar meanings, as they both refer to someone who is strong-willed and determined to achieve their goals. The word appease means to make someone less angry or hostile, while the word frighten means to make someone feel afraid or scared. These two words have opposite meanings, as appeasing someone would make them less angry, while frightening someone would make them more afraid.

The other options do not have the same relationship as the given pair of words. Hinder means to make something more difficult or to slow it down, while assist means to help or to make something easier. Bustle means to move or act quickly and energetically, while motionless means not moving or active. Miniature means very small, while small simply means not large.
