Hear is to Deaf as Speak is to
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) → Dumb
A person who cannot hear is called deaf. In the same way, a person who cannot speak is called dumb. The pair links an ability with the word for lacking that ability.
Why the other options are incorrect
Option (1) Quiet — Incorrect. Quiet means making little or no noise, by choice or by nature; it is not an inability to speak.
Option (2) Silent — Incorrect. Silent means not speaking at the moment; a person who can speak may stay silent.
Option (3) Mumb or Mum — Incorrect. “Mum” means keeping quiet (as in “keep mum”), again a choice and not an inability.
