Analogy Reasoning Explained
The question presents an analogy task: identify the relationship between the first pair of words and apply it to find the missing word in the second pair.
Relationship Analysis: Extra vs. Inadequate
The relationship between the first pair, "Extra" and "inadequate", needs to be determined.
- Extra implies having more than what is needed or required; an excess.
- Inadequate implies not having enough; insufficient.
- Therefore, "Extra" and "inadequate" represent opposite concepts regarding sufficiency or quantity. They are antonyms.
Applying the Relationship to "Appear"
The same antonym relationship must be applied to the word "Appear". We need to find the word that is the opposite of "Appear".
- Appear means to become visible or to come into sight.
- The opposite of becoming visible is ceasing to be visible or going out of sight.
- Considering the options:
- Melt: A change of state.
- People: A noun referring to humans.
- Disappear: Means to cease to be seen; vanish. This is the direct antonym of "Appear".
- Sink: To go down below the surface of something, typically water.
- Thus, "Disappear" is the word related to "Appear" in the same way "inadequate" is related to "Extra".
The correct option is the one containing "Disappear".
