Correct option is D
Let's analyze the relationships between the word pairs:
· (a) Assign : Alot
· Assign and Alot are synonyms, both meaning to allocate or designate something.
· (b) Solicit : Request
· Solicit and Request are synonyms, both meaning to ask for something.
· (c) Fallacy : Illusion
· Fallacy refers to a mistaken belief, especially one based on unsound arguments, while Illusion refers to a deceptive appearance or a false perception. Although related, these two words are not exact synonyms; they refer to different types of misconceptions.
· (d) Initial : Final
· Initial and Final are antonyms, meaning the beginning and the end, respectively.
Analysis:
· Pairs (a), (b), and (c) involve words that are closely related in meaning (synonyms or closely associated concepts).
· Pair (d) involves words that are opposites (antonyms).
Answer: (d) Initial : Final is the word-pair that shares a different relationship (antonym) compared to the others.
