Question: 395

1. Idle is to obsolete as

  • A. ornate is to fancy
  • B. evil is to handy
  • C. adore is to appreciate
  • D. tentative is to certain

Correct Answer: D

Explanation:

The answer is D

Idle (not currently in use) is a lesser version of obsolete (never to be used). Tentative is a lesser version of certain.

If you don't know the meaning of either idle or obsolete, 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.
