Question

Select the word that fits the analogy:
Cover : Uncover :: Associate : ______

The correct answer is
Dissociate

Analogy Solution: Associate and its Opposite

This question asks to find a word that completes the analogy based on the relationship between the first pair of words. The relationship needs to be applied to find the missing word for the second pair.

Understanding the Relationship

The first pair is Cover : Uncover. The word 'Uncover' is the direct antonym (opposite) of 'Cover'.

Applying the Relationship

We need to find the antonym for the word 'Associate'. 'Associate' means to connect or bring together.

Analyzing the Options

  • 1. Unassociate: While 'un-' can mean negation, 'unassociate' is not the standard antonym.
  • 2. Inassociate: 'In-' is not typically used to form the antonym of 'associate'.
  • 3. Misassociate: This means to associate incorrectly, not the opposite of associating.
  • 4. Dissociate: The prefix 'dis-' means to separate or disconnect. 'Dissociate' is the direct antonym of 'Associate', meaning to separate or disconnect.

Conclusion

Following the antonym relationship from 'Cover : Uncover', the correct word to complete the analogy 'Associate : ______' is 'Dissociate'.
