[amp_mcq option1=”Barren : Fertile” option2=”Reverse : Backward” option3=”Motion : Forward” option4=”Agile : Calm” correct=”option2″]
The correct answer is: B. Reverse : Backward
Abrupt means sudden and unexpected, while gradual means happening slowly over a period of time. Reverse means to go back in the opposite direction, while backward means in the opposite direction from the front.
In the original pair of words, abrupt is the opposite of gradual. In the answer pair, reverse is the opposite of backward. Therefore, the two pairs of words have the same relationship.
The other options are incorrect because they do not have the same relationship as the original pair of words.
A. Barren and fertile are not opposites. Barren means not producing crops or vegetation, while fertile means able to produce crops or vegetation.
C. Motion and forward are not opposites. Motion means movement, while forward means in the direction of the front.
D. Agile and calm are not opposites. Agile means able to move quickly and easily, while calm means not excited or upset.
