Solution
The relationship between the words in the first pair "Meek : Submissive" is that they are synonyms - they mean the same thing.
So, we need to find a word that is a synonym to "Particular".
Looking at the options:
-
Fastidious - This word means being very attentive to and concerned about accuracy and detail, which is similar to being particular.
-
Unpredictable - This word means not able to be predicted; changeable, which is not similar to being particular.
-
Fickle - This word means changing frequently, especially as regards one's loyalties or affections, which is not similar to being particular.
-
Voracious - This word means wanting or devouring great quantities of food, which is not similar to being particular.
So, the word that has the same relationship to "Particular" as "Meek" does to "Submissive" is "Fastidious".
