Select the word that fits the analogy: Do : Undo :: Trust : ________
Distrust
Analogy Reasoning
The question presents an analogy: Do is to Undo as Trust is to ________.
The relationship between the first pair, "Do" and "Undo", is that "Undo" represents the opposite or reversal of the action "Do".
Applying the Relationship
To solve the analogy, we need to find the word that represents the opposite or reversal of "Trust". Let's examine the options:
- Entrust and Intrust mean to give something to someone to care for or to use, implying confidence, which is related to trust, not its opposite.
- Distrust means a lack of trust or confidence. This is the direct opposite of trust.
- Untrust is not a standard English word, though its meaning could be inferred. However, "Distrust" is the established antonym.
Therefore, the word that fits the analogy is the opposite of Trust.
Conclusion
Following the pattern where the second word is the opposite of the first word (Do : Undo), the opposite of Trust is Distrust.

The phylogeny of six species of birds is illustrated below, where the horizontal branch lengths correspond to genetic distance. These six species are distributed in three islands X, Y, and Z. Island X harbours species 1, 4, 6; Island Y harbours species 1, 2, 4; and Island Z harbours species 3, 4, 5. Which one of the following is true about the phylogenetic diversity of these islands?
The phylogeny below shows the relationship between six species based on whole genome data. The sequence of a part of a particular gene from each species is provided at the tips of the tree. Based on the principle of parsimony, which one of the following is the expected sequence for the ancestor X?
A phylogenetic tree for the evolution of two pigmentation traits in species of fish is shown for clades X, Y and Z. Genes A and/or B, if mutated, can cause dark pigmentation in the body.
