Question

choose the word that correctly completes the analogy below. *
lavish is to modest as extravagant is to ______.
○ extra
○ simple
○ ugly
○ hardworking

Explanation:

To solve the analogy, we first identify the relationship between "lavish" and "modest". "Lavish" means spending or using in excess, while "modest" means being moderate or not excessive—they are antonyms. Now, we find the antonym of "extravagant" (which also means excessive). "Simple" can mean moderate or not elaborate, matching the antonym relationship like "modest" is to "lavish". "Extra" is similar to "extravagant", "ugly" relates to appearance, and "hardworking" relates to effort, so they don't fit.

Answer:

B. simple
