Question: 383

5. Peculiar is to bizarre as

  • A. anxious is to relaxed
  • B. brave is to jealous
  • C. verbose is to shy
  • D. plain is to austere

Correct Answer: D

Explanation:

The answer is D

Peculiar is a lesser version of bizarre (extremely out of the ordinary). Plain is a lesser version of austere (severely simple).

Even if you don't know the meaning of austere, you should still select choice (C), as none of the other answers match the defining relationship between peculiar and bizarre. If you don't know all of the words in the answers, you can guess after process of elimination.
