Question: 452
10. Eager is to fervent as
- A. tedious is to bored
- B. glum is to sad
- C. pleased is to ecstatic
- D. enraged is to mad
Correct Answer: C
Explanation:
C is correct. This is an analogy of degrees of similarity. Flip the words and you will see that fervent is a more intense feeling than eager just as ecstatic is a more intense feeling than pleased. Choice D may seem correct, but the words appear in reverse order, from more intense to less intense. To be correct, mad would need to come before enraged.
