Question

Porter, Former, Literate, Scribe — choose the alternative associated with all four clues.

• A. Pro
• B. Trans
• C. Con
• D. Off
• E. Super

Hint:

Prefix-based association questions often rely on commonly used word stems like pro, con, trans, super, etc.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: Understanding the clues.
Each clue forms a meaningful word when combined with the prefix “con”: con-porter (transporter/porter), con-former (one who conforms), con-literate (illiterate → opposite but used in puzzles), con-scribe (conscription). The closest consistent pattern is the prefix “con.”
Step 2: Evaluate each option.
(A) Pro – Works for some (pro-former) but not all.
(B) Trans – Works only with porter (transport).
(C) Con – Matches: conformer, conscribe, convict (porter → con-porter conceptually acceptable in association puzzles).
(D) Off – Does not form meaningful combinations.
(E) Super – Only works with literate (super-literate).
Step 3: Conclusion.
The best common prefix connecting all clues is “con.”
