Complete the word analogy :

imposing : impressive :: truancy : ?

  • A.foolhardiness
  • B.absenteeism
  • C.lying
  • D.play-acting

Answer: B

The answer is absenteeism.

In the first pair the words are near-synonyms: something imposing is grand and impressive. So the second word must mean nearly the same as truancy, which is staying away from school without permission. Absenteeism, habitual absence from school or work, is the synonym.

Foolhardiness is recklessness, lying is telling untruths and play-acting is pretending. A truant may do any of these, but none of them means truancy.
