Happiness : Misery

Options:

Violent : Wild

Construct : Dismantle

Deception : Fraud

Tranquility : Quietness

Correct Answer:

Construct : Dismantle

Explanation:

The pair of words that carries the same relationship as "Happiness: Misery" is Construct : Dismantle (Option 2)

Explanation:

  • Happiness: Misery - The relationship here is opposites; "happiness" and "misery" are antonyms representing opposite emotional states.

  • Violent: Wild - The relationship is not parallel. "Violent" refers to force or aggression, while "wild" relates more to natural behavior or lack of control.

  • Construct: Dismantle - The relationship here is opposites; "construct" means to build, and "dismantle" means to take apart or demolish.

  • Deception: Fraud - The relationship here is that "fraud" is a specific form or type of "deception." Deception is a broader term, and fraud is a subset of deceptive practices.

  • Tranquility: Quietness - The relationship here is that "tranquility" is a synonym or closely related term to "quietness." Both words convey a sense of calm or lack of disturbance.
