Analogies (Related Pair of Words)

The analogy compares 'Summit' to 'Apex' as both mean the highest point or peak. 'Summit' refers to the topmost surface or highest point of something, especially a mountain, while 'Apex' refers to the tip or vertex where lines converge, also indicating the highest point. Similarly, 'Summon' is related to 'Court' because a summon is a legal document issued by a court ordering a person to appear before it. While a judge may issue or be involved in the process, the summon is formally issued by the court. Therefore, the best analogy match is 'Court'. Option D 'Backon' is not a valid English word, and options B 'Judge' and C 'Witness' are related but less directly analogous than 'Court'.

A clue helps solve a mystery, so it is related as a helpful indicator. Similarly, a warning is related to precaution because a warning prompts taking precautionary measures to avoid danger or harm.

A boat uses sails as a means of propulsion, similarly, a balloon uses hot air to rise and move. Thus, 'Hot Air' is the correct analogy to 'Sails' in relation to 'Balloon'.

A hygrometer measures humidity, and similarly, a sphygmomanometer measures blood pressure. Therefore, the correct analogy is 'Sphygmomanometer is to Blood Pressure.'

The analogy compares the relationship between 'Teeth' and 'Grit' (to grit teeth means to clench them tightly) to the relationship between 'Fist' and 'Clench' (to clench a fist means to close it tightly). Thus, 'Clench' is the correct answer.

The Earth rotates around its axis, which is the central line. Similarly, a wheel rotates around its hub, which is the central part. Hence, the relationship is between an object and its central axis of rotation.

The Taj Mahal is famously associated with love as it was built by Shah Jahan in memory of his beloved wife Mumtaz Mahal. Similarly, the Jallianwala Bagh massacre is associated with martyrdom because many innocent people were killed there, making 'Martyrdom' the correct analogy.

A concert is an event where music is performed, typically held in a theatre or similar venue. Similarly, a banquet is a large formal meal or feast. Therefore, banquet relates to feast as concert relates to theatre.

England is bordered by the Atlantic Ocean and the North Sea, but is often associated with the Atlantic Ocean. Greenland is located near the Arctic Ocean, so the analogy relates England to the Atlantic Ocean as Greenland is to the Arctic Ocean. Therefore, the correct answer is Arctic Ocean.

A cobra is a specific type of snake, so the analogy is from a specific animal to its broader category (cobra : snake). A leopard is a specific species within the big cat genus Panthera, just like a tiger is another species within the same genus. Therefore, leopard is not a type of tiger, but both are types of big cats. Among the options, 'Cat' is the broader category that includes leopard, tiger, and lion, making it the best analogy. Hence, the correct analogy is Cobra : Snake :: Leopard : Cat.

An 'Institute' is a type of 'Academy', meaning the first word is a specific example or form of the second. Similarly, a 'Decree' is a type of 'Mandate' or authoritative order, making 'Mandate' the correct analogous pair.

Hong Kong is a special administrative region related to China, just as Vatican City is a sovereign city-state related to Rome (the city where it is located). Thus, the analogy compares a region to its related sovereign or city, making 'Rome' the correct answer.

A statue is a physical form representing a shape, similarly, a song is composed of a tune. Thus, the relationship is between a physical representation and its defining characteristic, making 'Tune' the correct analogy for 'Song'.

A publisher is responsible for producing and distributing a book, similarly, a producer is responsible for overseeing the production and distribution of a film. Thus, the relationship between book and publisher parallels that between film and producer.

The analogy compares the use of quantifiers for uncountable and countable nouns. 'Much' is used with uncountable nouns, while 'Many' is used with countable nouns. Similarly, 'Measure' relates to quantifying uncountable amounts, whereas 'Count' relates to quantifying discrete, countable items. Therefore, 'Measure' is related to 'Count' in the same way that 'Much' is related to 'Many'. The original answer 'Weigh' is incorrect because it does not fit the analogy pattern of uncountable versus countable quantification.

A kitten is a young cat, similarly, a fry is a young fish. The analogy compares adult animals to their young ones.

The palm is the inner surface of the hand, similarly, the sole is the inner surface of the foot. Hence, the correct analogy is Sole : Foot.

An engineer works with machines, so the relationship is between a professional and their primary object of work. Similarly, a doctor works with medicine. Therefore, the correct analogy is Doctor is related to Medicine.

Condolence is expressed in response to a loss, similarly, congratulation is expressed in response to an achievement. Therefore, 'achievement' is the correct analogous pair.
