Analogies (Related Pair of Words)

The analogy compares an organ to a characteristic action: an eye winks, and a heart throbs. 'Throb' correctly describes the rhythmic beating of the heart, making option B the correct answer.

The analogy compares 'Legend' to 'Story' as a broader category to a specific example. Similarly, 'Merlin' is a type of 'Eagle', making option B the correct choice.

The analogy compares opposites: 'Heed' means to pay attention, and its opposite is 'Neglect'. Similarly, 'Pacify' means to calm or soothe, and its opposite is 'Incite' (to provoke or stir up). Therefore, the correct answer is 'Incite' (B), which is the opposite of 'Pacify'. 'Allay' (C) is a synonym of 'Pacify', not an opposite, so it is incorrect in this analogy.

The analogy compares a part to the whole: a skeleton is part of a body, just as a sentence is part of grammar. Therefore, 'Sentence' is the correct answer.

The analogy compares the relationship between Earth and Sun to the relationship between Moon and Earth. Just as Earth orbits the Sun, the Moon orbits the Earth, making 'Earth' the correct answer.

A gardener uses a trowel as a tool for their work, similarly, a seamstress uses scissors as her tool. Thus, the relationship is between a profession and the tool they commonly use.

Tungsten is the material used to make a filament, so the analogy asks for the material related to bronze. Bronze is an alloy primarily made of copper and tin, so the correct related material is tin, not ornaments.

Mathematics primarily deals with numbers, so the analogy asks for what History primarily deals with. History is mainly concerned with events, making 'Events' the correct analogous pair.

A mirror is associated with reflection because it reflects light. Similarly, water is associated with refraction because light bends when it passes through water. Hence, the correct analogy is Mirror : Reflection :: Water : Refraction.

The analogy is based on predator-prey relationships. A mouse is prey to a cat, which is a predator. Similarly, a fly is commonly prey to a spider, which catches flies in webs and preys on them. Rats are not typical predators of flies, so 'Spider' is the more accurate answer for the analogy.

The brain is protected by the cranium, just as a pearl is found inside an oyster. This analogy shows a relationship of containment or protection.

A politician resigns from office, similarly, a king abdicates the throne. Both 'resign' and 'abdicate' refer to formally giving up a position of power or responsibility, making 'King' the correct analogy for 'Abdicate'.

The analogy compares an event and the emotion associated with it. Victory is an event that is associated with the emotion of Happiness. Failure is the opposite event, and the emotion most commonly associated with failure is Sadness. Therefore, the correct analogy is Victory : Happiness :: Failure : Sadness. 'Defeat' is a synonym or related event to Failure, not an emotional state, so it is not the best fit for this analogy.

A 'knoll' is a small hill, so the analogy is between a smaller or specific type of hill and a specific type of poem. An 'eclogue' is a type of poem, specifically a pastoral poem, often a short poem about rural life. Among the options, 'ballad' is also a type of poem, but 'eclogue' is more specifically a type of poem rather than a general poem. Since 'knoll' is a specific kind of hill, the analogy pairs a specific kind of hill to a specific kind of poem, so the best match is 'ballad' as a specific poetic form, not just 'poem' which is too general.

A curator is the person in charge of a museum, similarly, a warden is the person in charge of a prison. Therefore, the correct analogy is Museum : Curator :: Prison : Warden.

The analogy compares 'Gents' to 'Cap' and 'Ladies' to an item commonly associated with women. 'Gents' is a term for men, and 'Cap' is a typical men's headwear. Similarly, 'Ladies' refers to women, and 'Hairband' is a common women's hair accessory, making it the best match among the options.

Physiology is a branch of Biology, just as Metaphysics is a branch of Philosophy. Therefore, the correct analogy pairs Metaphysics with Philosophy.

Solicitous means showing concern or care, so it relates to Concern. Similarly, Verbose means using more words than necessary, which relates to Wordiness. Hence, the correct analogy is Verbose : Wordiness.

Tobacco affects the nervous system, so the analogy relates tobacco to nerves. Similarly, alcohol primarily affects the liver, making 'Liver' the correct analogous pair to alcohol.

The analogy compares an adult animal to its young: a pig produces a farrow (a litter of piglets), and a dog produces a puppy (its young). Therefore, the correct answer is 'Puppy'.

The word 'Scrupulous' means being very careful and principled, which relates to 'Principles'. Similarly, 'Ethical' pertains to 'Morals', which are standards of right and wrong behavior. Hence, the analogy is correct with 'Morals' as the answer.

Starvation is a result of lack of nutrition, similarly, exhaustion is a result of lack of energy. Therefore, the correct analogy is 'Exhaustion is related to Energy.'

Bricks are made by shaping raw clay or shale and then firing them in a kiln, which is a specialized high-temperature oven designed for slow, even heating to harden the bricks. While a furnace is used for very high-temperature industrial processes like metal melting, it is not typically used for brick production. Therefore, the correct analogy is that bread is made in a bakery, and bricks are made in a kiln. Among the given options, 'Kiln' is the most accurate answer.

The word 'Firm' is an antonym of 'Flabby', so the analogy requires the antonym of 'Piquant'. 'Piquant' means spicy or flavorful, and its antonym is 'Bland'. Hence, the correct answer is 'Bland'.

The analogy compares the sound made by the first word to the second. A man shouts, so the crow's equivalent sound is a 'caw'. 'Mob' is unrelated to the sound a crow makes, making option A correct.
