ANIMOSITY(noun)_: HATRED(noun) ::
(a) genial(adj) : amiable (adj)
(b) carnal(adj) : active (adj)
(c) insomnia(noun) : sleepy(adj)
(d) pacify(v) : peace(noun)
(e) liveliness(noun) : careful(adj)
C
i think its d, but correct me please if i am wrong
a and d both are confusing……….d should be it!!! correct if im wrong !!!
a
but please tell us what’s the correct answer
I would go with “A” here
i go with d
This is a poorly written question because the parts of speech are different. On the real GRE all the parts of speech will be the same! So this question is unanswerable.
A .
m with A
i agree wid kate….the parts of speech are different for the q and ans..so its not possible to arrive at a conclusive ans
otherwise the only plausible ans seems a…
animosity is a state which leads to hatred
and geniality leads to being amiable
(i kno not good enough but thts all i cud come up wid….)
TakeGre team pls comment on it
its A..
Animosity is full of hatred..
C is ruled out because insomnia is lack of sleep
genial is friendly which is same as amiable..
i’ll go with A
I prefer A.
Got The answer :
The ans is “A”
C
a
i think its D
animosity means feeling of ill will which creates hatred
pacify means gaining good will which creates peace
A
ans is D: ANIMOSITY MEANS HATRED OR STRONG DISLIKE..WHICH ARE SYNONYMS..WHEREAS GENIAL AND AMIABLE ARE FRIENDLY..
i think it has to be A.. as b doest match up… no other option suits better!!
You can eliminate B, C, and E because these choices are either complete opposites (insomnia & sleepy) or have no relationship to each other. That leaves A nd D. Frankly, both have a good case for each other.
Still, I think the answer is A because “Animosity is a degree of Hatred”. Is Pacify a degree of Peace? Not really. Is Genial a degree of Amiable? Kind of. At least more so than Pacify : Peace. The answer isn’t perfect but ETS does state that we choose the best answer not the absolute answer.
A
I think the answer is A.
its a
I too think it’s A, but am in a quandry as to the reason none of the answers reflect the same part of speech? Poor question.
I suggest geniality:amicability
the answer is A..
Animosity and hatred are syns.. they are nouns
genial and amiable are also syns.. but adj..
so the better answer is ‘geniality : amiability’ charlee there is a difference b/w amiablity and amicability .. please note..
A
Pliz tell me what is right answer? is ist ‘A’
ans is d
animosity leads to hatred
pacify leads to peace
a
D
IT is A.
i go with D
and please tell me if the answer is not D
yyyYyyyyyyyyyyyyy ?
I think its A.
Animosity and Hatred both are similar degrees of contempt or hostility ,as genial and amiable are to friendly nature.
choice D is quiet tempting but pacify means to bring somebody to peace.so i guess its A
answer is A because genial(act of kindness) and amiable(not an act)
(d) pacify : peace
I prefer A…
Its D
Pacify : Peace
Its D
Pacify : Peace
(d) pacify : peace
Animosity -causes hatred
Pacify- to establish peace
