Pineapple is commonly made into jelly, so the analogy asks for what tomato is commonly made into. Tomato jam is a known preserve similar to jelly, making 'Jam' the correct analogy. 'Pury' is not a standard English word, and 'Squash' and 'Pickles' do not fit the analogy as closely.

Denigrate means to devalue or criticize unfairly, so the analogy pairs 'Denigrate' with 'Devalue'. Similarly, 'Upgrade' means to improve or increase in value, so the correct analogy is 'Upgrade' to 'Revalue', which means to assign a higher value. 'Promote' is related but does not directly mean to increase value, whereas 'Revalue' is the precise opposite of 'Devalue'.

The term 'lapse' generally refers to a temporary slip, failure, or break in continuity, often brief and followed by a return to the prior state. This is analogous to a 'session' which is a defined period of time for an activity, such as a session of leave from work. 'Leave' fits the analogy best because both 'lapse' and 'leave' imply a temporary cessation or break. The other options ('Permit', 'Agency', 'Policy') do not share this temporal or cessation relationship with 'lapse' as 'leave' does. Therefore, 'Lapse' is related to 'Leave' in the same way as 'Session' is related to 'Leave'.

The analogy is based on the symbiotic relationships between animals. Ostriches often follow antelopes in the wild to benefit from their alertness to predators. Similarly, egrets are commonly seen perched on cows, feeding on insects and ticks on their bodies. This mutualistic relationship is a classic example used in textbooks and competitive exams. Among the options, 'Cow' is the most appropriate answer as it reflects the known ecological relationship with the egret, analogous to the ostrich-antelope relationship.

A symphony is a musical composition created by a composer, similarly, a fresco is a type of artwork created by a painter. Thus, the relationship is between a work and its creator.

An amendment is a correction or change made to a constitution, similarly, errata are corrections or errors noted in a book. Thus, the relationship between Constitution and Amendment parallels that between Book and Errata.

Satyajit Ray is a renowned filmmaker, so his relation is to Films. Picasso is famously known as a painter, so his relation is to Painting. Hence, the analogy is correct.
