GRE Verbal Reasoning QUESTION #8032
Question 1
FRAGILE : BREAK :: (Find the pair that best matches the relationship between the given words)
  • invisible : see
  • erratic : control
  • flammable : burn✔️
  • noxious : escape
Correct Answer Explanation
FRAGILE means easily broken — it describes a tendency toward BREAK. Similarly, flammable means easily burned — it describes a tendency toward BURN. Both pairs follow the pattern: [adjective meaning 'prone to X'] : [the action X]. 'Invisible:see' is opposite (invisible means cannot be seen). 'Erratic:control' and 'noxious:escape' don't share this structural relationship.
