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: Silence : Noise

Baldness : Hair
Sing : Dance
Quit : Peace
Talk : Whisper

The correct answer is: D. Talk : Whisper

In the original pair, “silence” is the absence of sound, while “noise” is the presence of sound. In the answer pair, “talk” is the production of speech sounds, while “whisper” is the production of speech sounds at a low volume. Both pairs of words have a complementary relationship, in which one word describes the absence or presence of something that the other word describes.

The other options are incorrect because they do not have the same relationship as the original pair. In option A, “baldness” is the absence of hair, while “hair” is the presence of hair. However, these words do not have a complementary relationship, because baldness is not the opposite of hair. In option B, “sing” is the production of musical sounds with the voice, while “dance” is the rhythmic movement of the body. However, these words do not have a complementary relationship, because singing is not the opposite of dancing. In option C, “quit” is to stop doing something, while “peace” is a state of tranquility. However, these words do not have a complementary relationship, because quitting is not the opposite of peace.
