Analogy — “Usual” is synonymous with “Common”; similarly, “Light” is most closely synonymous with ____. (Choose the best synonym.)

Difficulty: Easy

Correct Answer: Bright

Explanation:


Introduction / Context:
Synonym analogy. The first pair, “Usual : Common,” shows equivalence. We seek a near-synonym for “Light” in the sense of illumination/brightness.


Given Data / Assumptions:

  • “Light” here refers to luminosity, not weight.
  • We keep part-of-speech and sense alignment.


Concept / Approach:
In illumination sense, “Light” aligns with “Bright.”


Step-by-Step Solution:

1) Confirm intended sense: luminous vs heavy/light ambiguity.2) Pick “Bright.”3) Exclude antonyms or nouns/verbs.


Verification / Alternative check:
Common collocations: bright light, bright room. “Dark/Black” are antonyms; “Glow” is a verb/noun; “Dim” is partial opposite.


Why Other Options Are Wrong:

Black/Dark: opposites.Glow: different part of speech/meaning.Dim: low light, not synonym.


Common Pitfalls:
Sense confusion between “light” (weight) vs “light” (illumination). Context indicates illumination.


Final Answer:
Bright
