In the following question a certain relation exists between the first two words. The same relation also exists between the third and the fourth word. Out of these four words one word is missing and is denoted by a question mark in the question. Find out the missing word from the words given below.
Obey : Defy :: Work : ?

Rest

The correct answer is option 2: Rest.

Explanation:

• Obey : Defy – These are antonyms, meaning they are opposites.

Now, let's find the word that has the opposite meaning of "Work":

• Indolent: Refers to a lazy or inactive disposition, but it doesn't directly represent the opposite of the action of "Work."
• Rest: This is the opposite of "Work" as it implies a state of relaxation or inactivity after exertion.
• Lazy: Refers to a character trait of not wanting to work, but it's not the exact opposite of the action "Work."
• Labour: Is a synonym of "Work," so it doesn't fit the pattern.

Therefore, the word that completes the analogy is "Rest."
