Question: 414
4. Talkative is to loquacious as
- A. implicating is to congratulating
- B. articulate is to understandable
- C. socialized is to mesmerized
- D. presumptive is to possible
Correct Answer: E
Explanation:
E
Loquacious is very talkative. Fascinating is very interesting.
If you don't know the meaning of loquacious, work backwards. Neither implicating (accusing) and congratulating nor socialized and mesmerized are by definition related, so you can eliminate choices (A) and (C).

Sure, so keep choice (B). Presumptive means highly probable. Can talkative mean highly loquacious? Possibly, so keep choice (D). Fascinating is very interesting. Can loquacious mean very talkative? Sure, so keep choice (E). Depending on how many words you don't know, you may need to skip
