Directions (for the next 02 items that follow): Read the following pairs and identify the pair(s) wherein the one word substitution is correctly stated, and mark your response on the Answer Sheet accordingly.
Group of words One-word substitution I. One who knows everything Omnipotent II. One who is all powerful Omniscient III. One who abandons religious faith Apostate
III only
"Omniscient" means all-knowing, so pair I, which matches "one who knows everything" with "Omnipotent", is incorrect. "Omnipotent" means all-powerful, so pair II, which matches "one who is all powerful" with "Omniscient", is also incorrect; the two terms have been swapped. "Apostate" correctly denotes one who abandons religious faith, so only pair III is correctly stated.
