Question

Read the excerpt from paragraph 1.

Big cities have a lot to offer in terms of convenience: shops, restaurants, and entertainment are close at hand. Excitement and glamour abound in a fast-paced world. There is also the anonymity that can come with dense populations.
What is the relationship between the word anonymity and other words in paragraph 1?

a
Anonymity has an antonymous relationship with “dense” in this context.
b
Anonymity has a synonymous relationship with “dense” in this context.
c
Anonymity has a cause and effect relationship with “dense” in this context.
d
Anonymity has a positive relationship with “populations” in this context.

Answer 1

The correct answer is:

c
Anonymity has a cause and effect relationship with “dense” in this context.

In the context of the excerpt, the density of the population in big cities contributes to a sense of anonymity, as the larger number of people can make it easier for individuals to feel less recognizable or less connected to others.
