Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Duplicity and treachery are synonyms that mean deceitful or fraudulent. So, look for the answer choice that contains synonyms. In choice (B), repulsion means disgust, while something that has allure is appealing or desirable. Choice (C) is incorrect because surfeit means excess or oversupply, not a deficit or lack of something. Choice (D) is incorrect because terrestrial means earthly or global, not otherworldly. Choice (A) is the only answer pair that contains synonyms. Pejorative means the same a depreciatory, that is, critical or uncomplimentary.
