Select the option that is related to the third word in the same way as the second word is related to the first word.
Ancient : Modern :: Generous : ?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → Miserly
The two words of the pair are opposite in meaning: ancient means very old and modern means of the present time. Generous means ready to give freely, and its opposite is miserly, unwilling to spend or give.
Why the other options are incorrect
Option (1) Kind — Incorrect. Kind is close in meaning to generous, not its opposite.
Option (3) Wealthy — Incorrect. Wealthy means rich; a person can be wealthy and generous at the same time, so it is not the opposite.
Option (4) Grateful — Incorrect. Grateful means thankful; it is not the opposite of generous.
