Question

Near is to close as distant is to

Answer 1

The correct answers could be remote or far.

In order to finish this analogy, we first have to see what the relationship between the first pair of words is. Near and close mean the same, which means they are synonyms. So this information tells us that the second pair of words also has to have a synonymous relationship.

So in order to complete this, we need to find a synonym for the word distant. Some examples would include remote, far, detached, etc.

Answer 2

Near is to close as distant is to far or remote

Further explanation

Near is to close as distant is to far or remote

A synonym is a word that means exactly or nearly the same as another lexeme (word or phrase) in the same language. Words that are synonyms are said to be synonymous, and the state of being a synonym is called synonymy.

Whereas an antonym is a word that has the opposite meaning of another word.  The first known use of the word antonym was in 1857.

Far means at, to, or by a great distance (used to indicate the extent to which one thing is distant from another). Also it means over a large expanse of space or time. The synonym of far is away, deep, distant, far-flung, far-off, faraway, remote, removed.

Whereas near means at or to a short distance away; nearby. Also it means a short time away in the future. The synonym of near is close, close-up, immediate, nearby, neighboring, next-door, nigh, proximate
