Words can connect by being antonyms. An antonym is a word that means the opposite.
In this series of 11-plus verbal reasoning quizzes, you have to find TWO words, ONE from each set in brackets that will complete the sentence in the most sensible way. Choose the correct answer from the four choices available. The correct answer might be two opposites, two synonyms, or two words that share another characteristic.
Sometimes the two words which you need to find a partner for are verbs, and only an adverb will do, or sometimes both are nouns needing an adjective. This is where all your learning about parts of speech will come in handy!
Take your time, do your best and enjoy Word Connections quiz number 2.
