Question

Kind :_______: : Often : Frequently (By word meaning)

Answer checking is unavailable for this question. You can review the published solution without a score.

Correct answer (MTA) Solution The analogy is based on word meanings (synonyms). Often and Frequently are synonyms. We need to find a synonym for the word Kind . Analysis of options: (A) Mean : This is an antonym (opposite) of 'kind' when used as an adjective. (B) Type : This is a synonym of 'kind' when used as a noun (e.g., "What kind/type of music do you like?"). (C) Cruel : This is an antonym of 'kind' when used as an adjective. (D) Kindly : This is an adverbial form, not a direct synonym for the noun or adjective 'kind'. While 'Type' is a valid synonym for 'Kind' in its noun form, the question was marked as MTA (Marks to All) in the official GATE 2023 answer key, likely due to potential ambiguity in the parts of speech or the intended relationship between the words. Turn this into a strength. Explore AI-powered practice and doubt support with Success Tracker.
