Question
Choose the most appropriate option for the following blank:Indolent: Slothful :: ? : GenerosityA Meanness B Miserliness C Largesse D Both (1) and (2)
Solution
The correct answer is B. Miserliness.
This is an analogy question. The relationship between the words in the first pair is that they are synonyms - 'indolent' and 'slothful' both mean lazy. So, we are looking for a word that is a synonym for 'generosity'.
Option A, 'meanness', is the opposite of generosity. Option C, 'largesse', is another word for generosity, but we are looking for a synonym for generosity, not the word itself. Option D is incorrect because it includes option A, which is not a synonym for generosity.
Option B, 'miserliness', is the correct answer because it is a synonym for generosity.
