Question: 422
12. Qualm is to confidence as
- A. yank is to pull
- B. box is to carton
- C. manager is to owner
- D. joy is to pleasure
Correct Answer: E
Explanation:
E
Qualm is the opposite of confidence. Compliment is the opposite of criticism.
If you don't know the meaning of qualm, work backwards. Yank is the same as pull. Can something be the same as confidence? Sure, so keep choice (A). Box is the same as carton, so now eliminate choices (A) and (B), which have the same defining relationship and cancel each other out. Manager and owner are not by defining related, so eliminate choice (C). Joy is a stronger version of pleasure. Can something be a stronger version of confidence? Yes, so keep choice (D). Compliment is the opposite of criticism. Can something be the opposite of confidence? Yes, so keep choice (E). You should always guess when you are down to two.
