Question 1
Choose the word pair that best expresses a relationship similar to that of FRUGAL : MISERLY
  • confident : arrogantโœ”๏ธ
  • courageous : pugnacious
  • famous : aggressive
  • rash : foolhardy
Correct Answer Explanation
Frugal (careful with money) becomes miserly (excessively cheap) when taken to an extremeโ€”it's the same quality but in excess. Confident : arrogant shows the same relationship: confidence becomes arrogance when taken too far. Both pairs show a positive quality becoming negative through excess.
