Directions:

Each of the following items consists of a word in capital letters followed by a word or group of words. Select the word/group of words that is furthest in meaning to the word in capital letters.

Question :16

ROUGHLY

Answer: (a)

Question :17

DEAR

Answer: (d)

'Dear', first and foremost, means 'precious' or 'cherished'. 'Worthless' means a thing of no worth or little merit or value. So, 'worthless' is the first choice for an antonym. 'Dear' also means 'at a high price', so 'cheap' would be the second best choice for an antonym. 'Priceless' means 'invaluable', 'too precious'.

Question :18

SAGE

Answer: (d)

'Sage' carries the meaning of wisdom, discretion, being judicious; a sage is a profoundly wise man. So antonym of 'sage' is 'fool'. In a secondary sense, 'sage' is associated with goodness and honesty. So 'rogue' cannot be the first choice here.

Question :19

RESERVED

Answer: (d)

Question :20

SELDOM

Answer: (b)
