Question: 322

5. Generous is to frugal as

  • A. wasteful is to squander
  • B. philanthropist is to miser
  • C. tasteful is to garish
  • D. gratify is to desire

Correct Answer: B

Explanation:

The correct answer is (B). The terms are antonyms. Generous is the opposite of frugal; a philanthropist is truly the opposite of a miser. The terms in choices (C) and (E) are also antonyms. When faced with questions in which the same relationship is maintained by a number of the choices, you must look for a relationship among all four terms. In this case, the theme to be carried through among the choices of the correct analogy is "money."
