The following question, consist of two words each that have a certain relationship to each other, followed by four lettered pairs of words. Select the lettered pair that has the same relationship as the original pair of words: Indigent : Wealth

Smug : Complacency
Contented : Happiness
Aristocratic : Stature
Emaciated : Nourishment

The correct answer is: A. Smug : Complacency

The relationship between “indigent” and “wealth” is that indigent is the opposite of wealth. In other words, an indigent person is someone who is poor, while a wealthy person is someone who is rich.

The relationship between “smug” and “complacency” is similar. A smug person is someone who is excessively proud of themselves, while a complacent person is someone who is self-satisfied and not concerned about improving themselves.

The other options do not have the same relationship as the original pair of words.

  • Contented and happiness are not opposites. A contented person is someone who is satisfied with their situation, while a happy person is someone who feels joy or pleasure.
  • Aristocratic and stature are not opposites. An aristocratic person is someone who is from a high social class, while stature is a person’s height.
  • Emaciated and nourishment are not opposites. An emaciated person is someone who is very thin, while nourishment is the act of providing food or drink to someone.
