Question

1. serene : harried :: ______

a. sea : turbulent
b. quiet : peaceful
c. face : expression
d. confident : uncertain

Explanation:

First, analyze the relationship between "serene" and "harried". "Serene" means calm and peaceful, while "harried" means stressed or agitated—they are antonyms. Now check each option:

• Option a: "sea" is a noun, "turbulent" is an adjective describing the sea. The relationship is not antonymy between two adjectives like the original pair.
• Option b: "quiet" and "peaceful" are synonyms, not antonyms.
• Option c: "face" and "expression" have a part - whole relationship, not an antonym relationship.
• Option d: "confident" (sure of oneself) and "uncertain" (not sure) are antonyms, matching the relationship between "serene" and "harried".

Answer:

d. confident : uncertain
