Question: 365

3. Foul is to smell as

  • A. sour is to sight
  • B. wrong is to right
  • C. soft is to touch
  • D. fair is to play

Correct Answer: E

Explanation:

The answer is E

Foul describes an awful smell. Rancid describes an awful taste.

Even if you don't know the meaning of rancid, you should still select choice (E) as none of the other answers match the defining relationship between foul and smell. While foul can be a noun, the first words of the answer choices are adjectives, which means foul is intended as an adjective.
