Question

“Thick” is related to “Thin” in the same way as “Idle” is related to:

• A. Business
• B. Industrious
• C. Activity
• D. Virtuous

Hint:

In analogy questions, determine if the relationship is based on opposites, synonyms, part-whole, function, or cause-effect. Match the type of relationship to find the right answer.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Understand the relationship in the first pair.

“Thick” and “Thin” are antonyms — they mean the opposite of each other.

Step 2: Apply the same relationship to the second pair.

We are given the word “Idle”, which means inactive or lazy.

Step 3: Choose the word that is opposite in meaning to “Idle”:

• Option 1: Business – a noun, not an adjective, and not a true antonym.
• Option 2: Industrious – means hardworking and active. This is the correct antonym.
• Option 3: Activity – a noun, and not a direct opposite in the correct part of speech.
• Option 4: Virtuous – relates to moral quality, not activity or laziness.

Final Answer:

Industrious
