The correct answer is accidental ignorance because intentional and accidental are antonyms of each other (they are exact opposites) while knowledge is the exact opposite of ignorance
|
The correct answer is tenant employee because landlord and tenant are opposites, and employer and employee are opposites. We often use the suffix 'ee' in words to show that something is in a relationship with something else. Can you think of any other words that work like this? Some ideas follow in one of the answers below

The correct answer is minimum minority because the opposite of maximum is minimum and the opposite of majority is minority. Majority means more than half of something, and minority means less than half
|
The correct answer is pessimist temporary because optimist and pessimist are opposites, in the same way as permanent and temporary are opposites. An optimist is a person who always thinks something good will happen but a pessimist thinks only bad things can happen. Which are you?

The correct answer is impolite pliable because the opposite of polite is impolite (yes, rude also means the same thing, but the proper opposite is impolite) and rigid (cannot be bent) is the opposite of pliable (easily bent)
|
The correct answer is sugary immaculate because sweet and sugary mean the same thing, and clean and immaculate are closest in meaning from the choices available. Immaculate means completely, or extremely clean
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||
The correct answer is succeed fail because success is the noun we get from the verb 'to succeed' while failure is the noun we get from the verb 'to fail'. Did you hear about the budgie with the blunt beak? Read about it in the answer to question 10. From the puzzle in question 2 we came up with fiancee, absentee, divorcee. How many more can you think of?
|
The correct answer is occupied full because occupied and vacant are opposites, and empty is the opposite of full. Remember pessimist and optimist from question 4? A pessimist, looking at a half glass of milk, would say it was half empty, while an optimist would say it was half full!
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||
The correct answer is compliant insubordinate because compliant is a synonym for obedient, and insubordinate is a synonym for disobedient. A soldier who will not follow orders can be charged with insubordination
|
The correct answer is many abundant because few and many are opposites of each other and abundant means the opposite of scarce. Well done! You have now finished all four of the Word connections quizzes. Remember the budgie with the blunt beak in question 7? He was born to succeed!
