Question: 551

19. Pedestrian is to original as

  • A. bright is to brilliant
  • B. stable is to variable
  • C. insolent is to rude
  • D. foolish is to absurd

Correct Answer: B

Explanation:

B is correct. The relationship in this analogy is one of contrast. Pedestrian, which means "commonplace" or "ordinary," is the opposite of original, which means "fresh and new." In the same way, stable, which means "static" or "unchangeable," is the opposite of variable, which means "inconstant" or "changeable."
