Which word means 'to be related to or quite similar to'?

• A. Related
• B. Comparable
• C. Matching
• D. Correspond

Answer: (D)

To express that two things are in a direct relation or closely alike, correspond is the best choice. It signals that one item mirrors, matches, or is in agreement with the other in a clear way, across a system or set of data. For example, you can say the results correspond to the predictions, meaning they align or are in the same relation to what was expected.

Related is broader, simply indicating a connection without implying precise similarity. Comparable means you can draw a comparison, but it doesn’t necessarily convey a direct matching or alignment. Matching stresses similarity or fit in appearance or pairing, but it’s often about surface likeness or arranging things to fit, rather than a linked relationship.
