    Question

    Select the word-pair that best represents a similar relationship to the one expressed in the pairs of words given below.(The words must be considered as meaningful English words and must not be related to each other based on the number of letters / number of consonants / vowels in the word.)
    Quench : Satisfy, Nurture : Foster

    A.

    Yield : Resist

    B.

    Jealous : Content

    C.

    Lethargic : Energetic

    D.

    Ingenious : Clever

    Correct option is D

    The given pairs to understand the relationship:
    · Quench : Satisfy – "Quench" means to satisfy thirst or desire.
    · Nurture : Foster – "Nurture" and "foster" both imply supporting or helping to grow or develop.
    Both pairs involve words that are synonymous or close in meaning, where one word implies fulfilling or encouraging the other.
    Now, let's examine each option:
    Yield : Resist – These are antonyms, not similar in meaning.
    Jealous : Content – These are also antonyms.
    Lethargic : Energetic – Again, these are antonyms.
    Ingenious : Clever – These are synonyms, both implying intelligence or creativity.
    Since only option (d) follows the synonymous relationship like the original pairs, it is the best match.
    Correct answer: (d) Ingenious : Clever.
