Question and options
Gather : Distribute :: Construct : ?
- Make
- Destroy
- Give
- Building
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: B - Destroy
Gather and distribute are opposites: one brings things together, the other spreads them out. In the same way the opposite of construct is destroy. ‘Make’ is a synonym of construct, ‘give’ pairs with distribute rather than construct, and ‘building’ is what is constructed, not its opposite.
