GRE: Analogies Question #1

Skip to Question: 1 2 3  | Next Question


Question:ACQUIESCENT : CHANGE ::

Choices:
A. irresistible : defy
B. surmountable : overcome
C. tolerant : bother
D. secluded : build
E. redundant : abridge



(B) To find the answer to Analogy questions, use the Kaplan Method for Analogies. Create a bridge linking the words in the stem pair. In this case, something that is acquiescent is capable of being changed. Then, find the answer choice that contains the same bridge. Here, something that is surmountable can be overcome.

Choice (A) is the opposite of the correct bridge - something that is irresistible cannot be defied. Neither tolerant and bother, in Choice (B), nor secluded and build, in Choice (D) have an ostensible link. Finally, in Choice (E) something that is redundant may or may not be capable of being abridged.
