Question

Select the option that is related to the third word in the same way as the second word is related to the first word. (The words must be considered as meaningful English words and must not be related to each other based on the number of letters/number of consonants/vowels in the word) Frivolous : Big :: Deride : ?

The correct answer is

Encourage

In this analogy: - The word "Frivolous" has a meaning of being carefree or silly, and the word "Big" is the opposite (big → large meaning serious, important). - The word "Deride" means to mock or ridicule, and the word related to this in opposite meaning is "Encourage", as encouraging is opposite to mocking. Hence, the correct answer is "Encourage".
