Três questões de raciocínio verbal, resolvidas

In this video, we solve three aptitude questions on analogies, synonyms, and the odd word out.

Question one. Doctor is to hospital as teacher is to what? Option A, book. Option B, school. Option C, student. Option D, lesson.

Let us solve it. The relationship is a professional and their usual workplace: a doctor works in a hospital, and a teacher works in a school. Option A, book, is a teaching resource, not a workplace.

Option C, student, is someone a teacher teaches, not a workplace. Option D, lesson, is what a teacher delivers, not a workplace. Hence, the correct answer is option B, school.

Question two. Find the synonym of candid. Option A, frank. Option B, secret. Option C, careful. Option D, gentle.

Let us solve it. Candid means honest and direct when expressing your thoughts, which matches frank. Option B, secret, means hidden or not shared, rather than openly expressed.

Option C, careful, means taking care to avoid mistakes or harm, not speaking openly. Option D, gentle, means mild or kind, rather than necessarily honest and direct. Hence, the correct answer is option A, frank.

Question three. Choose the word that does not belong: joy, delight, sorrow, happiness.

Let us solve it. Look for the shared meaning: three words express pleasure, while one expresses sadness. Joy expresses pleasure, so it is not the odd word.

Delight also expresses pleasure, so it is not the odd word. Happiness expresses pleasure or contentment, so it is not the odd word. Sorrow means sadness, which contrasts with the other three words.

Hence, the correct answer is sorrow.
