Level 2 Questions
     

1.   VICIOUS
 
      1.  good natured
      2.  vigorous
      3.  spiteful
      4.  generous
      5.  soft

Answer : 1
 
Explanation :
 
To be vicious is to be savage and brutal in behavior. Vigorous means to be strong and hearty and spiteful is synoymous to vicious. Generous means to be benevolent and kind and soft does not always indicate behavior. So good-natured is the only option which fits.

2.   HEARTY
 
      1.  robust
      2.  passive
      3.  tired
      4.  active
      5.  frail
 
Answer : 5
 
Explanation :
 
Hearty means physically vigorous, strong and healthy. Robust is synoymous with hearty. Passive means inactive, tired means full of fatigue and active is also a positive word like hearty. So option 5 - frail, meaning weak and delicate, is the correct answer.

3.   DEPRESSED
 
      1.  heavy
      2.  sunny
      3.  high
      4.  elated
      5.  contented
 
Answer : 4
 
Explanation :
 
To be depressed is to be dejected and gloomy. Heavy relates to weight, sunny and high may not always relate to disposition or the emotions. Of the other two options, elated indicates a greater level of intensity than contented and so it is the correct answer.

4.   CLARIFY
 
      1.  explain
      2.  decry
      3.  confuse
      4.  weaken
      5.  darken
 
Answer : 3
 
Explanation :
 
Clarify is to explain, to make clear. Explain is a synonym, decry is to denounce or openly censure someone, weaken and darken are unrelated to clarity. So the correct option is 3, that is, to confuse or obscure the issue.

5.   ECSTATIC
 
      1.  miserable
      2.  joyous
      3.  magical
      4.  solemn
      5.  uplifted
 
Answer : 1
 
Explanation :
 
Ecstatic means to be extremely happy, intensely and rapturously so. Joyous and uplifted are both synonymous with happy and so don't qualify. Magical has a different connotation altogether, it has nothing to do with the emotions. Solemn means serious and miserable is to be intensely unhappy and so this is the correct option.

6.   MODERATE
 
      1.  continent
      2.  irrational
      3.  farfetched
      4.  intemperate
      5.  exorbitant
 
Answer : 4
 
Explanation :
 
Continent means to maintain self-restraint. Irrational means not logical or reasonable. Intemperate is being immoderate. Exorbitant means being excessively immoderate.

7.   GREGARIOUS
 
      1.  hostile
      2.  misanthropic
      3.  reclusive
      4.  reserved
      5.  exclusive
 
Answer : 4
 
Explanation :
 
Gregarious is being sociable and prone to associate with fellow beings. Reserved is showing disinclination to speak out or associate at a social level. A recluse is one who has abandoned the company of people altogether. Misanthropic is one who hates men.

8.   OBJECTIVE
 
      1.  sincere
      2.  miserable
      3.  sufficient
      4.  favorable
      5.  biased
 
Answer : 5
 
Explanation :
 
To be objective is to be impartial and unprejudiced. The opposite of this would be to be subjective or to have a bias. Option 5 - biased - is the only one which qualifies. It should be noted that favorable does not mean to show favoritism or to be biased.

9.   DEXTEROUS
 
      1.  maladroit
      2.  slow
      3.  skilled
      4.  ignorant
      5.  limited
 
Answer : 1
 
Explanation :
 
Dexterous means skilled. Maladroit is being clumsy. Skilled means having or showing the knowledge or ability to perform certain tasks. Ignorant means lacking knowledge or awareness in general.

10.   TRIVIAL
 
      1.  sensitive
      2.  significant
      3.  supportive
      4.  interesting
      5.  strange
 
Answer : 2
 
Explanation :
