Correct Answer: Careful : Cautious
Solution :
Given:
Absence : Existence (It represents an opposite or contrasting relationship, where absence means the lack or nonexistence of something and existence means the presence of something.)
Let's check the options –
First option:
Blunt : Sharp; Blunt and Sharp are antonyms, representing opposite qualities. Blunt implies a lack of sharpness, while Sharp suggests a high degree of sharpness or keenness.
Second option:
Calm : Furious; Calm and Furious are opposites in terms of emotional states. Calm signifies a state of tranquillity or peacefulness, while Furious conveys intense anger or rage.
Third option:
Abundant : Lacking; Abundant and Lacking represent the presence and absence of something, respectively. Abundant suggests a plentiful or overflowing quantity, while Lacking indicates a deficiency or scarcity.
Fourth option:
Careful : Cautious; Careful and Cautious are synonymous terms, both indicating a state of being cautious, prudent, or showing attention to detail.
So, only the fourth option doesn't follow the same pattern as followed by the given pair. Hence, the fourth option is correct.
