GRE Verbal Reasoning QUESTION #8033
Question 1
MUTTER : INDISTINCT :: (Find the pair that best matches the relationship between the given words)
  • demand : obedient
  • plead : obligatory
  • flatter : commendable
  • drone : monotonous✔️
Correct Answer Explanation
To MUTTER is to speak in an INDISTINCT (unclear) way — the verb describes speech characterized by that adjective. Similarly, to drone is to speak in a monotonous (dull, repetitive) way. Both pairs = [verb for a way of speaking] : [adjective describing that speech]. The other pairs don't follow this verb-defines-manner pattern.
