Analogies (Related Pair of Words)

"Indiscreet" means lacking prudence or discretion, which relates to "Imprudent" meaning not showing care for the consequences. Similarly, "Indisposed" means slightly ill or unwilling, which relates closely to "Reluctant," meaning unwilling or hesitant. Thus, the analogy is consistent.

A transistor is a key component used in radios to process audio signals, similarly, video is the key component related to television as it processes visual signals. Thus, the analogy is based on the primary function or component associated with each device.

"Leisurely" and "Unhurried" are synonyms describing a slow pace. "Tardy" means late, and the word most closely related in meaning is "Dawdle," which means to waste time or be slow, thus relating similarly to "Tardy." "Sluggish" implies slow movement but not necessarily lateness, so "Dawdle" is a better analogy.

Snowfall is a type of precipitation, just as a grotto is a type of cave. Therefore, the correct analogy is Grotto is related to Cave.

A borrower receives a loan, similarly, a beggar receives a gift. The relationship is between the person and what they receive. 'Alms' refers to charity but is not the direct object received like a 'gift' is, making 'Gift' the best analogy.

Chlorophyll is a component found inside the chloroplast, so the relationship is part to whole. Similarly, a vulture feeds on flesh, so the correct analogy is between vulture and flesh, representing what the vulture is related to or associated with.

Waves are disturbances that occur in air (such as sound waves), similarly, ripples are disturbances that occur in water. Therefore, the correct analogy is Ripples : Water.

Charminar is a famous monument located in India, similarly, the Sphinx is a well-known monument located in Egypt. Therefore, the correct analogy is India : Charminar as Egypt : Sphinx.

Kabul is the capital city of Afghanistan, just as Vienna is the capital city of Austria. Therefore, the relationship is between a country and its capital city.

The helm is the control mechanism (such as the steering wheel) used by the helmsman to steer a ship, which moves the rudder to change the ship's direction. Similarly, the brain controls the body, directing its functions and movements. Therefore, the relationship between helm and rudder (control mechanism to controlled part) is analogous to the relationship between brain and body (controller to controlled entity). Among the options, 'Body' is the best fit as it represents what the brain controls, just as the helm controls the rudder.

A tie is worn around the neck, similarly, a belt is worn around the waist. This analogy shows the relationship between an item and the body part it is associated with.

The relationship between 'Kindle' and 'Burn' is that kindle means to start a fire, which leads to burning. Similarly, 'Angry' and 'Furious' have an intensity relationship, where furious is a more intense form of angry. Therefore, 'Furious' is the correct analogy.

Rickets is a disease caused by vitamin D deficiency affecting children, leading to soft and weak bones. Osteomalacia is the equivalent condition in adults, characterized by softening of the bones due to defective bone mineralization.

Algae typically live in water, so water is their environment or medium. Similarly, viruses require a host to live and reproduce, making 'Host' the correct analogous pair.

A labourer earns wages as a reward for their work, similarly, an entrepreneur earns profit as a reward for their business efforts. Hence, the correct analogy is Entrepreneur : Profit.

Chapati is typically cooked by roasting or baking on a griddle, so the analogy pairs 'Cook' with 'Chapati'. Meat is commonly prepared by roasting, making 'Roast' the best match in the analogy.

Amnesia is the loss of memory, so the analogy compares 'Memorise' (to remember) with its opposite condition. Similarly, 'Movement' is the ability to move, and its opposite condition is 'Paralysis' (loss of movement). Hence, the correct answer is C.

The analogy is between a structure and its component part. A staircase includes banisters as a part, just as a deck includes railings as a part. Therefore, 'Deck : Railings' is the correct analogous pair.

Necromancy is a form of magic involving communication with ghosts or spirits. Similarly, sorcery is a type of magic often associated with spirits. Thus, the pair 'Sorcery : Spirits' is analogous to 'Necromancy : Ghosts'.

Zinc is commonly used in galvanisation to prevent corrosion, while nickel is widely used in electroplating to provide a protective and decorative coating. Thus, the analogy correctly pairs nickel with electroplating.

The pair 'Thanks : Gratitude' shows a relationship where the first word is an expression and the second is the feeling or concept behind it. Similarly, 'Courtesy : Manners' relates an expression of politeness to the general behavior it represents, making it the best analogous pair. Option C ('Protest : Resentment') is less direct, as protest is an action and resentment is an emotion, but they are not as closely analogous as A.

The analogy 'Theft : Confess' pairs an act with the action of admitting to it. Similarly, 'Fault : Admit' pairs a wrongdoing with the action of admitting it, making option B the correct analogous pair.

A yawn is often a sign or result of boredom, just as a smile is often a sign or result of amusement. Therefore, the pair Smile : Amusement is analogous to Yawn : Boredom.

The analogy 'Cereals : Grit' relates a broad category (Cereals) to a processed form or product derived from it (Grits, which are coarsely ground cereal grains, typically corn). Similarly, 'Dal : Pulses' relates a processed form (Dal, which is split, hulled pulses) to its broader category (Pulses). Therefore, option A is the correct analogous pair. Option C is incorrect because 'Metanil' is unrelated to pulses. Options B and D do not show a similar category-to-product relationship.

The pair 'House : Ceiling' shows a relationship where the second word is a part of the first. Similarly, 'Hut : Roof' shows the roof as a part of the hut, making option A the correct analogous pair.
