Question: 357

10. Gluttony is to craving as

  • A. pride is to fall
  • B. jealousy is to envy
  • C. droplets is to hurricane
  • D. essay is to eulogy

Correct Answer: B

Explanation:

The answer is B

Gluttony is an excess of craving. Jealousy is an excess of envy.

If you don't know the meaning of gluttony, work backwards. Pride and fall, droplets and hurricane, and essay and eulogy (praise) are not by definition related, so you can eliminate choices (A), (C), and (D). Jealousy is an excess of envy, while sloth is an avoidance of movement. Could something be an excess or an avoidance of craving? Yes, so guess between the two. If you were not able to eliminate three answers, you may wish to leave this question blank.
