Question

Choose the correct word from the given alternatives which bears the same relationship to the third word as the first two.
Vigilant: Alert:: Viable: ?

• A. Active
• B. Hopeless
• C. Feasible
• D. Useful

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

To solve this problem, we need to determine the relationship between the words in each pair and find a word that has the same relationship with the given word "Viable" as "Alert" has with "Vigilant".

1. First, let's analyze the relationship between "Vigilant" and "Alert". Both words are synonyms, meaning they have similar meanings. "Vigilant" refers to being watchful and attentive, and "Alert" also implies a state of being watchful and attentive.
2. Now, we need to find a word that is synonymous with "Viable". The word "Viable" often means capable of working successfully or feasible.
3. Let's examine the given options:
   • Active: This word implies being engaged in action or energetic, not necessarily synonymous with "Viable".
   • Hopeless: This conveys a lack of hope or possibility, which is almost opposite to what "Viable" implies.
   • Feasible: This word means possible or practicable, which is a direct synonym of "Viable".
   • Useful: Although related, it doesn't directly match the meaning of "Viable".
4. The word that shares the same synonymous relationship with "Viable" as "Alert" does with "Vigilant" is "Feasible". Therefore, the correct answer is "Feasible".

Therefore, the correct word that completes the analogy is Feasible.
