Question: 404
10. Table is to delay as
- A. yell is to whisper
- B. cover is to prevent
- C. grow is to shift
- D. color is to distort
Correct Answer: D
Explanation:
D
To table is to delay. To color is to distort.
The answers indicate that table is being used as a verb. If you don't know the secondary meaning of table, work backwards. Yell and whisper are opposites. Could a word mean the opposite of delay? Sure, so keep choice (A). Cover and prevent, grow and shift, and improve and escalate are not by definition related, so you can eliminate choices (B), (C), and (E). You may not know that the secondary meaning of color means distort, in which case you might eliminate choice (D) and select choice (A). If you think that color might mean distort, could a word mean the same as delay? Of course, so keep choice (D) as well. You should always guess when you are down to two.
