Select the option that relates to the third word in the same way as the second word relates to the first. (Words must be treated as meaningful English words, not based on letter counts.) Frivolous : Serious :: Deride : ?
- Encourage
- Taunt
- Jeer
- Detest
Correct answer: Encourage
Solution
'Frivolous' means not serious, and 'Serious' is its antonym. Applying the same antonym relationship to 'Deride' (meaning to mock or ridicule), its antonym is 'Encourage' (to support or praise). 'Taunt' and 'Jeer' are synonyms of deride; 'Detest' means to hate, which is unrelated.
