Find the word in the given series of words that has the same relationship to the third word as that between the first two.
Touch : Feel :: Greet : ?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → Acknowledge
The pair is an action and what it does: when we touch something, we feel it. In the same way, when we greet someone, we acknowledge them, that is, we show that we have noticed them.
Why the other options are incorrect
Option (1) Smile — Incorrect. A smile is one way of greeting, not what a greeting does.
Option (3) Success — Incorrect. Success is an achievement and has no link with greeting.
Option (4) Manner — Incorrect. Manner is the way something is done; good manners include greeting, but manner is not what a greeting does.
