Question: 373
11. Obfuscate is to enlighten as
- A. dictate is to teach
- B. imbibe is to drink
- C. enervate is to waste
- D. dim is to darken
Correct Answer: E
Explanation:
The answer is E
Obfuscate (confuse) is the opposite of to enlighten (educate). Indulge (give in to a desire) is the opposite of to abstain (refuse to give in to a desire).
If you don't know the meaning of either obfuscate or enlighten, you should skip this question without guessing. If you know one of the words, you can try to work backwards, but the answers may have several words you don't know as well. Don't spend too much time on questions with several difficult words.
