Question: 368
6. Recalcitrance is to mischief as
- A. indifference is to praise
- B. refusal is to hesitation
- C. remonstrance is to remorse
- D. cardinal is to ordinal
Correct Answer: B
Explanation:
The answer is B
Recalcitrance (extreme disobedience) is a greater version of mischief. Refusal is a greater version of hesitation.
If you don't know the meaning of recalcitrance, work backwards. Indifference and praise, remonstrance (protest) and remorse (regret), and cardinal and ordinal (both types of numbers) are not by definition related, so you can eliminate choices (A), (C), and (D). Refusal is a greater version of hesitation. Can something be a greater version of mischief? Yes, so keep choice (B). Disinterest is not showing an opinion. Can something be not showing remorse? Maybe, but choice (B) is more likely. If you don't know some of the words in the answers, you may need to guess after process of elimination or even skip this question.
