Question:

From the given options, select the one that carries the same relationship as:

Doubtful : Skeptical

Options:

Dreary : Dull

Resist : Submit

Wicked : Virtuous

Comic : Tragic

Correct Answer:

Dreary : Dull

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (1) → Dreary : Dull.

Here's why:

  • Doubtful and Skeptical are synonyms, both meaning having doubt or uncertainty.
  • Dreary and Dull are also synonyms, both meaning lacking interest or excitement.

The other options do not have the same relationship.

  • Resist means to oppose or withstand something.
  • Submit means to yield to someone or something; give in.
  • Wicked means morally bad or wrong.
  • Virtuous means morally good or good in character.

The words resist and submit are antonyms and their relationship is opposite to the relationship between doubtful and skeptical. Resist means to oppose something, while submit means to give in to something. Wicked and virtuous are also opposites. Wicked means morally bad, while virtuous means morally good.

The words comic and tragic are antonyms and their relationship is opposite to the relationship between doubtful and skeptical. Comic means funny or amusing, while tragic means sad or sorrowful.
