If ‘→’ denotes increasing order of intensity, then the meaning of the words
[dry → arid → parched] is analogous to [diet → fast → ________ ].
Which one of the given options is appropriate to fill the blank?
A
starve
B
reject
C
feast
D

Correct : a

dry → arid → parched shows increasing intensity of dryness.
Similarly, we need increasing intensity in:

diet = controlled eating
fast = no eating for a period
starve = extreme lack of food (highest intensity)

So the correct order is:
diet → fast → starve
And the correct option is (a) starve.
