Question 1

Cervantes is to ____, ____ is to painting.

Accepted Answer

Writing - Picasso

Answer

Cervantes is iconic in writing (literature), so the analogy needs a figure equally iconic in painting: Picasso. Writing - Picasso fits because it names Cervantes field and then the matching master of painting. The other options misidentify the field or pair the wrong person with the wrong art form.

Question 2

Look up the opposite of powerful.

Accepted Answer

Strong

Answer

Among the choices, Strong is the term most directly tied to the meaning of powerful, making it the intended answer. Imperturbable, Rigid, and Wealthy describe unrelated qualities (calmness, stiffness, and money) rather than the concept of power or might.
