“Young” is related to “Old” as an antonym. In the same way, “Wide” is related to which antonym? Choose the best opposite.

Introduction / Context:This is a straightforward antonym analogy. “Young : Old” sets the pattern of opposites. We must supply the standard opposite for “wide.”

Given Data / Assumptions:

• Opposite relation must be preserved.
• We prefer the most common dictionary antonym.

Concept / Approach:“Wide” denotes large breadth; its standard antonym is “narrow,” denoting small breadth. Other options either describe different dimensions (“long”) or unrelated size/quality terms (“big,” “insufficient”).

Step-by-Step Solution:1) Identify the relation as antonymy.2) Select “Narrow” as the precise opposite of “Wide.”

Verification / Alternative check:Standard thesaurus entries list narrow as the direct antonym of wide in spatial contexts.

Why Other Options Are Wrong:

• Big/Long: Different dimensions or general size; not opposite breadth.
• Insufficient: Concerned with quantity/adequacy; unrelated to width.

Common Pitfalls:Confusing dimensional adjectives (length vs width). The opposite must share the same dimension.

Final Answer:Narrow
