Question: 458
1. Insult is to compliment as
- A. puzzle is to vex
- B. difficulty is to enjoy
- C. brood is to worry
- D. assure is to console
Correct Answer: E
Explanation:
E is correct. To insult someone is the opposite of what you would do if you were to compliment someone, just as to please someone is the opposite of what you would do if you were to annoy someone. Only choice E provides two verbs that are opposite in meaning. The verbs presented in choices A, C, and D are synonymous with each other, and the words in choice B are not the same parts of speech.
