Question

Kind : _________ : : Often : Seldom

(By word meaning)

A. Cruel   B. Variety   C. Type   D. Kindred

Accepted Answer

A. Cruel In this analogy, the relationship between Often and Seldom is antonymy: Often means frequently, Seldom means rarely. They are direct opposites. We need the antonym of 'Kind' used as an adjective (gentle, caring, benevolent). The opposite of being kind is being Cruel. Note: this is a different question from 11.22.9 where Kind was used as a noun (synonym of Type). Here, by the antonym relationship established via Often : Seldom, Kind (adjective) : Cruel is the correct pair.
