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.
