Question

Loan:lone::fled:
Fish:aquarium::grains:
Obtain:acquire::excessive:
Sufficient:insufficient::normal:

Answer 1

1. Loan:lone::flee:flea

(In this case, in all probability, the word flee has been incorrectly written as fled.)

Loan (related to borrowing and lending of money) and lone (all alone) are homophones. They sound the same, but have different meanings. The homophone for flee (to run or escape) is flea (a small parasitic insect).

2. Fish:aquarium::grains:granary

Fish are kept in an aquarium, while grains are kept/stored in a granary.

3. Obtain:acquire::excessive:immoderate

The meaning of obtain is to acquire. Similarly the meaning of excessive is immoderate or extravagant.

4. Sufficient:insufficient::normal:abnormal

The opposite of sufficient is insufficient. Accordingly, the opposite of normal is abnormal.
