Question

In the following, choose the pair/group of words having same relationship as given in question. Elevated: Exalted :: ______: ______

• A. Promoted: Excellence
• B. Disorderly: Unfaithful
• C. Raise: Commensurate
• D. Dirty: Filthy

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

This question asks for a pair of words with the same relationship as the given pair "Elevated: Exalted". Let's analyze the relationship:

• The word "Elevated" means raised or uplifted in status, position, or rank.
• The word "Exalted" implies a very high status or rank, often more so than just "elevated."

The relationship here is one of degree or intensity. "Exalted" represents a higher degree of "elevated."

Now, let's examine the provided options:

• Promoted: Excellence - "Promoted" means to move to a higher position, while "Excellence" refers to outstanding quality. These words do not share a degree-related relationship.
• Disorderly: Unfaithful - Both words represent negative traits, but they are unrelated in meaning and do not form a degree-related relationship.
• Raise: Commensurate - "Raise" means to lift or elevate, while "Commensurate" refers to something that corresponds in size or degree. These words do not connect in terms of degree.
• Dirty: Filthy - "Dirty" means slightly soiled or unclean, while "Filthy" means extremely soiled or disgustingly dirty, representing a higher degree of dirtiness.

The correct answer is Dirty: Filthy, as the relationship mirrors the one in the original pair, where the second word indicates a heightened degree of the first.
