Question

Eject : Insert :: Advance : \(\underline{\hspace{1cm}}\) (By word meaning)

• A. Advent
• B. Progress
• C. Retreat
• D. Loan

Hint:

Look for the type of relation first (synonym, antonym, cause–effect, part–whole). Here, since eject : insert are opposites, apply the same antonym logic to the second pair.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: Identify the relationship in the first pair.
"Eject" means to throw out or expel, while "Insert" means to put in.
These two are antonyms (opposites).

Step 2: Apply the same relationship to the second pair.
We need a word that is the opposite of "Advance."
- Advance = move forward, proceed.
- The opposite (antonym) $\Rightarrow$ Retreat = move back, withdraw.

Step 3: Eliminate the options.
(A) Advent = arrival/beginning (not opposite of advance).
(B) Progress = move forward (synonym of advance).
(C) Retreat = move back/withdraw $\Rightarrow$ correct antonym.
(D) Loan = lending of money (irrelevant meaning).
\[ \boxed{\text{Retreat}} \]
