Question

Complete the following proverb:
A wise enemy is better than ______.

• A. A foolish friend
• B. A foolish relative
• C. A wise son
• D. An intelligent father

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

The correct answer is option B.

The correct and complete proverb is A wise enemy is better than a foolish friend.'

This means that a foolish friend causes us more harm than a wise enemy would.

There is a comparison of opposites in the proverb. Thus the opposite of a wise enemy is a foolish friend.

Hence option B is the correct answer and the other options are incorrect as they do not comply with the meaning of the proverb and also are not the opposite of a wise enemy.
