Explanatory Answer
Method of solving this CAT Verbal Ability Question from Analogy question
Option D is correct. The relation between the two words is that of degree. Alleviate means the same as ease but higher in degree, just as interrogate is higher in degree to question. Repudiate means to reject or disown and allocate means to assign. No other pair has a similar relationship.
