Analogy — “Uneasy” contrasts with “Quiet”; in the same way, “Fit” contrasts with ____. (Select the antonym.)

Difficulty: Easy

Correct Answer: Unfit

Explanation:

Introduction / Context:The prompt pairs “Uneasy” with its contrasting state “Quiet” (calm). We must similarly oppose “Fit,” the state of being suitable or healthy, with its direct antonym “Unfit.”

Given Data / Assumptions:

  • We follow antonymic contrast.
  • “Fit” is read as suitable/appropriate (also compatible with healthy).

Concept / Approach:Choose the clear and direct antonym: “Unfit.”

Step-by-Step Solution:

1) Identify relation: adjective vs contrary state.2) Map Fit ↔ Unfit.3) Eliminate synonyms of suitable.

Verification / Alternative check:Common English usage lists fit/unfit as standard opposites in suitability and health contexts.

Why Other Options Are Wrong:

Proper/Suitable/Pertinent/Able: all align with suitability or capability, not the opposite.

Common Pitfalls:Choosing a near-synonym because it “sounds positive,” rather than the opposite term.

Final Answer:Unfit
