Question and options

Direction: A good way to figure out the relationship in a given question is to make up a sentence that describes the relationship between the first two words. Then, try to use the same sentence to find out which of the answer choices completes the same relationship with the third word.
Candid is to indirect as honest is to
  1. frank
  2. wicked
  3. truthful
  4. untruthful

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: D - untruthful
Candid (open and direct) is the opposite of indirect, so honest must pair with its opposite, untruthful. "Frank" and "truthful" are near-synonyms of honest, and "wicked" is not its opposite in the same sense.
