Question (English)

'Blossom' is related to 'Wither' in the same way as 'Stagnate' is related to '$__________$'. (Words must be considered as meaningful English words and must not be related to each other based on the number of letters/number of consonants/vowels in the word.)

  1. Stand
  2. Rest
  3. Flow ✓ Correct
  4. Languish
Explanation:

Relationship: Antonyms (Opposites).

  • Blossom means to flourish or bloom, while Wither means to dry up or decay. They are opposites.
  • Stagnate means to stop moving or become inactive (like still water). The opposite of staying still or stagnating is to move or Flow.

Therefore, 'Flow' is the correct antonym for 'Stagnate' in this context.

प्रश्न (हिंदी)

'खिलना' (Blossom), 'मुरझाना' (Wither) से उसी प्रकार संबंधित है, जिस प्रकार 'स्थिर होना' (Stagnate) '$__________$' से संबंधित है। (शब्दों को सार्थक हिंदी शब्द माना जाना चाहिए और शब्दों को अक्षरों की संख्या/व्यंजनों/स्वरों की संख्या के आधार पर एक दूसरे से संबंधित नहीं किया जाना चाहिए।)

  1. खड़े रहना (Stand)
  2. विराम (Rest)
  3. बहना (Flow)
  4. मंद पड़ना (Languish)
स्पष्टीकरण:

यहाँ संबंध विलोम (Antonyms) का है।

  • जैसे फूल का 'खिलना' (Blossom) और उसका उल्टा 'मुरझाना' (Wither) होता है।
  • उसी प्रकार, 'स्थिर होना' (Stagnate) का मतलब है एक जगह रुका रहना (जैसे गंदा पानी)। इसका उल्टा होगा निरंतर चलना या 'बहना' (Flow)

इसलिए, सही उत्तर 'बहना' है।
