Based on the relationship between the words in the question pair, choose the correct answer pair from the given alternatives:
Dull-witted : Clever
- A.
Coward : Brave
- B.
Mentally weak : Ignorant
- C.
Charming : Attractive
- D.
To Oppose : To Dislike
Attempted by 6 students.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
The given pair 'Dull-witted : Clever' shows an ANTONYM (opposite) relationship: a dull-witted person is slow to understand, whereas a clever person is quick and sharp. We need the option pair with the same opposite relationship. 'Coward : Brave' fits exactly — a coward lacks courage while a brave person has courage, so they are opposites. The other pairs are not opposites: 'Charming : Attractive' are near-synonyms, 'Mentally weak : Ignorant' are related (not strict opposites), and 'To Oppose : To Dislike' are related but not antonyms.
