Question

develop : development::prefer: ?


​

Answer 1

ANSWER:

     develop : development :: prefer: preference

EXPLANATION:

    Here, develop is a verb and development is a noun so as prefer is a verb, the answer should be a noun which will be preference. ‘Development’ is made by adding the suffix ‘ment’ to the word ‘develop’ which turns it from a verb to a noun.

   To get the answer and complete the sequence a suffix should be added to the word ‘prefer’ which will make a noun. The suffix ‘ence’ is added to the word ‘prefer’ to make a noun which is ‘preference’ and hence completes the sequence.
