Question

Read the analogy below.

Ruthless is to merciful as
____ is to aggressive
Which word best completes the analogy?
A.
decisive
B.
unlikely
C.
agitated
D
passive

Answer 1

Passive

Step-by-step explanation:

Ruthless is the opposite of merciful, so you are looking for the opposite of aggressive:

When you are aggressive you do things back to another person or thing. The opposite of that would be passive, meaning that you let things happen to you in a way, or that you don't fight back.

Hope this makes sense!

Answer 2

id say D. it is the closest to an antonym. ruthless and merciful have opposing meanings and so passive and aggressive
