Question

1 A common golfer cannot play in the Masters or British Open with the world’s best-known golfers, nor can the average tennis player play against the world’s best at Wimbledon. No teenager just learning to drive can bank the turns with professional drivers at the Daytona 500. However, in the sport of road racing, common people and novice joggers can lace up and be in the same race as the world-class runners competing to win it all. The Peachtree Road Race in Atlanta, GA is the world’s largest 10K, boasting 55,000 runners who line up for blocks at 7:30am to run down Atlanta’s most famous street. Only a handful, however, really have a legitimate chance to win the prestigious crystal peach and the $15,000 first place prize that comes with it. The Peachtree Road Race is unique as a road race in three distinctive ways: it is run on the 4th of July, it has a rich tradition, and it is the most competitive 10K in the world.
Which analogical statement correctly illustrates the relationship between novice and world-class as seen in the first paragraph?
A) Novice is to world-class as deafening is to loud.
B) Novice is to world-class as destitute is to wealthy.
C) Novice is to world-class as inexpensive is to cheap.
Eliminate
D) Novice is to world-class as valuable is to significant.

Answer 1

Answer:

B) Novice is to world-class as destitute is to wealthy.

Explanation:

To understand the analogy, first, we should be familiar with the meaning of these terms.

Novice is a beginner, an inexperienced individual who has just started doing something.

World-class is a term used to denote a person who is famous around the world for his work, won many awards, is acknowledged to be one of the best in his particular field, has a lot of experience etc.

So, basically, these two terms are completely opposite in meaning; they are antonyms.

Now, looking at the answers:

- deafening and loud practically mean the same thing, they are synonyms

- destitute is someone extremely poor, so its antonym is definitely wealthy

- inexpensive and cheap are also synonyms

- valuable and significant are also synonyms.
