Identify the odd pair: Three pairs are antonyms (Dim–Bright, Wrong–Right, Shallow–Deep). One pair consists of synonyms (same/near meaning). Choose the synonym pair.

Difficulty: Easy

Correct Answer: Genuine : Real

Explanation:


Introduction / Context:
Antonym–synonym classification checks lexical relations. Among the four, three are clear antonym pairs; one is a synonym pair.


Given Data / Assumptions:

  • Dim vs Bright → antonyms (low vs high brightness).
  • Wrong vs Right → antonyms (incorrect vs correct).
  • Shallow vs Deep → antonyms (less vs greater depth).
  • Genuine vs Real → synonyms (authentic).


Concept / Approach:
Determine whether each pair expresses opposition or equivalence in meaning.


Step-by-Step Solution:

Mark three as antonym pairs.Mark one as synonym pair (Genuine ~ Real).


Verification / Alternative check:
Substitute in definitions or paraphrases: “genuine = real” reads naturally; the others read as opposites.


Why Other Options Are Wrong:
They are antonyms, not synonyms.


Common Pitfalls:
Over-focusing on nuanced usage; here, core dictionary senses suffice.


Final Answer:
Genuine : Real is the odd (synonym) pair.
