Which among the following pair of words carry the same relationship a…

The correct answer is Option (3) → A only

The relationship:

• Care is a noun; adding -ful gives the adjective "careful", and adding -ly to that gives the adverb carefully.
• So the pair is noun → adverb formed with -fully.
• A. Grace - gracefully follows the same steps: grace (noun) → graceful (adjective) → gracefully (adverb).
  Example: The swan glided gracefully across the lake.

Why the Other Options are Incorrect?

Option 1: B only — Incorrect. Beauty - beautiful is noun → adjective; it stops before the adverb "beautifully".

Option 2: D only — Incorrect. Hope - hopeless is noun → adjective with the suffix -less, which also reverses the sense (without hope).

Option 4: C only — Incorrect. Fun - funny is noun → adjective formed with -y, not an adverb.

Note: The actual question was dropped by NTA. For the benefit of the students and to give additional practice, the original question has been replaced with a new question.

Tip: In this question the options do not follow the order of the statements (Option 1 = B only, Option 2 = D only, Option 3 = A only, Option 4 = C only). NTA often jumbles the options in this way, so after finding the correct statement, read the options carefully and mark the one with the right letter.
