  2. JKR says:

    From my intuition it’s A.

    But if look for the similiry of parts of peace, I’m totally bewildered. I need Takegre Team help.

    C

  4. POLLY says:

    i think its d, but correct me please if i am wrong

  5. Ramya says:

    a and d both are confusing……….d should be it!!! correct if im wrong !!!

  6. devapriya says:

    a

    but please tell us what’s the correct answer

  7. Nikhil says:

    I would go with “A” here

  8. avi says:

    i go with d

  9. Kate says:

    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.

  10. Ankesh says:

    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

  11. rashmi says:

    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

  12. yadav says:

    I prefer A.

  13. crafter202 says:

    Got The answer :
    The ans is “A”

  14. Ailiam Attobra says:

    C

  15. malathy says:

    i think its D
    animosity means feeling of ill will which creates hatred
    pacify means gaining good will which creates peace

  16. harini says:

    ans is D: ANIMOSITY MEANS HATRED OR STRONG DISLIKE..WHICH ARE SYNONYMS..WHEREAS GENIAL AND AMIABLE ARE FRIENDLY..

  17. bhavin says:

    i think it has to be A.. as b doest match up… no other option suits better!!

  18. amber says:

    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.

  19. Deepak says:

    I think the answer is A.

  20. hansa says:

    its a

  21. Charlee says:

    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

  22. boopathy says:

    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..

  23. Nazneen says:

    Pliz tell me what is right answer? is ist ‘A’

  24. senthil says:

    ans is d
    animosity leads to hatred
    pacify leads to peace

  25. Maddy says:

    IT is A.

  26. manishtuteja10 says:

    i go with D

  27. manishtuteja10 says:

    and please tell me if the answer is not D
    yyyYyyyyyyyyyyyyy ?

  28. karthik says:

    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

  29. jitin says:

    answer is A because genial(act of kindness) and amiable(not an act)

  30. nil says:

    (d) pacify : peace

  31. Kofi DL says:

    I prefer A…

  32. harsh jain says:

    Its D
    Pacify : Peace

  33. harsh jain says:

    Its D
    Pacify : Peace

  34. hemanshu_abbey says:

    (d) pacify : peace

    Animosity -causes hatred
    Pacify- to establish peace
