Question and options
Pick out the most suitable alternative which fills the blank.
'Apex' is to 'Top' as 'Base' is to __________
- Side
- Ball
- Home
- Bottom
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: D - Bottom
An apex is the top of something and a base is its bottom, so each pair links a word with its plain meaning. “Side” is a part but not the lowest one, and “home” and “ball” only recall the bases of a ball game.
