Question

FLIMSY : STURDY

• A. prognosis : diagnosis
• B. gauche : eloquent
• C. flippant : earnest
• D. drizzle : downpour

Hint:

In analogy questions, first decide the relation (synonym, antonym, degree, cause-effect) before comparing with the options.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: Relationship in the given pair.
"Flimsy" means weak or fragile, while "sturdy" means strong or solid. They are antonyms. 

Step 2: Check each option.
- (a) "Prognosis" (prediction of disease outcome) and "diagnosis" (identification of disease) are related terms, but not opposites.
- (b) "Gauche" (awkward, clumsy) and "eloquent" (fluent, expressive) are somewhat contrasting, but not perfect antonyms.
- (c) "Flippant" (casual, unserious) and "earnest" (serious, sincere) are exact opposites, just like flimsy vs. sturdy. 

Step 3: Conclusion.
Option (c) best represents the antonym relationship. \[ \Rightarrow \boxed{(c)} \]
