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.

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.

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

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.

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

boopathy
#29. July 1st, 2008, at 11:16 AM.

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..

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

jitin
#39. July 1st, 2009, at 9:26 AM.

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