From the given options, select the one that carries the same relations as:
‘Attach:Detach’
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → Barren : Fertile
Given pair: Attach : Detach → opposites (antonyms) (attach means to fasten or join and detach means to separate or unfasten)
| Pair | Relationship |
|---|---|
| (1) Barren : Fertile (answer) | opposites, the same relation as attach : detach (barren land is too poor to grow crops, while fertile land produces crops well) |
| (2) Timid : Coward | close in meaning, not opposites (timid means shy and easily frightened, and a coward is a person who lacks courage) |
| (3) Ridiculous : Funny | close to funny, not opposite (ridiculous means so silly that it makes people laugh) |
| (4) Jealous : Envious | synonyms (both mean unhappy because someone else has what one wants) |
