Problem 11 - Entrance Test

Select the pair that best expresses a relationship similar to that expressed in the original pair: INCANDESCENT : GLOW

Correct: B

INCANDESCENT describes something that emits light as a GLOW when heated. The relationship is 'adjective to its characteristic phenomenon/effect'. Similarly, SONOROUS describes something that is full, deep, or rich in SOUND. Acrid describes a smell, but acrid is the quality of the smell, not the smell itself. Malodorous is bad smell, fragrance is good smell. Voluminous is a quality of size, not the size itself as a phenomenon.
