Identify the word that is related to 'Gentle' in the same way as 'Alertness' is related to 'Lethargy'. (Consider the semantic relationship between the words, not their letter patterns.) Lethargy : Alertness :: Gentle : ?
- Destroy
- Kind
- Annoying
- Harsh
Correct answer: Harsh
Solution
Lethargy (sluggishness/lack of energy) is the antonym of Alertness (being active/attentive). Applying the same antonym relationship to Gentle: the antonym of Gentle is Harsh (rough/unkind). 'Kind' is a synonym of Gentle. 'Annoying' and 'Destroy' are unrelated.
