‘Flow’ is related to ‘Stagnant’ in the same way as ‘Fall’ is related to ‘________’.

(The words must be considered meaningful English words and must not be related to each other based on the number of letters/number of consonants/vowels in the word)

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. Rise

The logic used here is:

‘Flow’ is related to ‘Stagnant’, Flow is a continuous movement of something. Stagnant means not flowing. Flow and stagnant are opposite to each other.

Similarly,

‘Fall’ is related to ‘?’

Fall is to move in a downward direction, Rise means to move upwards. Fall and rise are opposite to each other.
