Select a word to replace the blank spaces.
Alleviate : Aggravate : : Elastic : ________________
Explanation:
The relationship between the first two words is antonymous. “Alleviate” means 'to make easier to endure; lessen; mitigate' while “aggravate” means 'to make worse or more severe'. “Rigid” is antonymous to “elastic”. “Flexible” and “malleable” are synonymous to “elastic”, while “strong” has nothing to do with “elastic”. Hence, the correct answer is option 1.
