Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Weighty and heavy are synonyms and represent the same meaning. Heather means a plant. So, (1) option eliminated. Draft is a portion of beer and so, we cannot say that draft and beer are synonyms. So, (3) choice eliminated. Bear is an example of animal and not the synonym of animal. So, (4) is also eliminated. The only pair of synonyms is (2) i.e. sadist : cruelty. Thus, (2) is the correct option choice.
