MAT Practice Analogy Questions

Answer: Choice (C) is correct.

In the first half of the analogy, taciturn and effusive are antonyms. Someone who is taciturn is introverted and aloof, not effusive and enthusiastic. So, look for the answer choice that contains antonyms. In choice (A), something that is inert is motionless or inactive, so eliminate that synonym pair. In choice (B), putative describes something that is generally acknowledged or accepted - or supposed, so eliminate that choice. In choice (D), something that is quotidian is daily and customary, or commonplace, so eliminate that choice. Choice (C) contains the antonyms. Something - an appetite, for example, that is rapacious is voracious or ravenous. Satiated is the opposite; it means satisfied or full.
