Question and options

Direction: Select the word from the given alternative, which can replace the question mark in such a way that the third and fourth words are related in the same way as the first and second words.
Money : Poverty :: Education: ?
  1. Illiteracy
  2. Teacher
  3. Knowledge
  4. Wealth

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: A - Illiteracy
Money removes poverty, so the pair links a means to the want it removes; in the same way education removes illiteracy. Knowledge is what education produces, not what it removes, so it reverses the relationship; teacher and wealth are not things education removes.
