Analogies (Related Pair of Words)

The analogy is between a literary work and the language it is associated with. 'Utopia' is a famous work written in English, just as 'Odyssey' is a famous work written in Greek. Therefore, option A correctly represents an analogous pair.

The pair 'Commander : Commands' shows a person and the action they perform. 'Senator : Legislates' similarly pairs a person with their primary action, making it the correct analogous pair. Option A ('Aerates : Aviator') reverses the order and mismatches roles and actions, while options C and D do not correctly represent analogous relationships.

The analogy is between a small piece and the whole it comes from. A grain is a small piece of salt, just as a shard is a small piece of pottery. Option D correctly reflects this relationship.

The analogy 'Liquor : Drink' shows a specific item (Liquor) belonging to a general category (Drink). Similarly, 'Tea : Beverage' shows Tea as a specific item within the general category Beverage, making option B the correct analogous pair.

The analogy 'Protagonist : Character' shows that a protagonist is a type of character. Similarly, a termite is a type of insect, making option B the correct analogous pair.

The pair 'Rain : Patter' shows a relationship where the second word is a characteristic sound made by the first. Similarly, 'Door : Bang' represents a door making a banging sound. The other options do not show this specific sound relationship.

The analogy is between a place and what it primarily contains or is associated with. A laboratory is a place where germs are studied or found. Similarly, a library is a place where books are found. Therefore, 'Library : Books' is the correct analogous pair.

The analogy 'Lawn : Grass' represents a whole-to-part relationship, where a lawn is an area covered with grass. Similarly, 'Wool : Sheep' shows a part-to-whole relationship, where wool is the fiber that grows on a sheep. This is the closest analogous pair among the options. 'Fur : Pelt' is actually a part-to-whole relationship where the pelt is the whole skin with fur, but it is less directly analogous to lawn and grass. 'Skin : Goat' and 'Rice : Farm' do not represent similar whole-part or part-whole relationships as clearly. Therefore, option A is the best analogous pair.

The analogy asks for a pair where the first word is an animal and the second word is a typical movement or action associated with that animal. 'Lamb : Frisk' shows an animal and a characteristic movement (frisk means to leap or skip playfully). Among the options, 'Lion : Stride' best matches this pattern, as 'stride' is a typical way a lion moves. Other options either pair animals with unrelated actions or actions not typically associated with those animals.

The analogy 'Garbage : Dustbin' shows a relationship where the first item is typically contained or held by the second. Similarly, 'Bangles : Hand' shows bangles are worn on the hand, indicating a container or holder relationship. Option B ('Medicine : Capsule') is incorrect because a capsule contains medicine, not the other way around, so the order is reversed.

The analogy 'Equator : Latitude' relates a specific example to the general category it belongs to. The Equator is a specific line of latitude. Similarly, a Needle (such as a compass needle) is a specific tool used to indicate Direction. Therefore, 'Needle : Direction' is the correct analogous pair. Other options do not fit this specific-to-general category relationship as clearly: 'Visitor : Guest' are synonyms, 'Fish : Water' is a habitat relationship, and 'Pigeon : Bird' is a specific-to-general category but less analogous to the given pair than option B, which involves a tool and its function related to direction, similar to Equator and Latitude.

The analogy 'Formula : Constituent' implies that a formula is made up of constituents (components). Similarly, a carburettor is a device that mixes fuel and air to create a mixture. Thus, 'Carburettor : Mixture' is the correct analogous pair.

The pair 'Perforate : Holes' shows an action and its result (to perforate means to make holes). Similarly, 'Speckle : Spots' shows an action (to speckle) and its result (spots). The other options do not represent this direct cause-effect relationship as clearly.

A script is the written text of a drama, just as a score is the written music for a symphony. Both pairs relate a written form to the complete artistic work it represents.

The pair 'Presumption : Certainty' shows a relationship where the first word is a less certain or weaker form of the second. 'Hunch : Guess' similarly shows a relationship where 'Hunch' is a less certain form of 'Guess'. Other options do not reflect this analogous relationship as clearly.

The analogy compares a 2D shape to its 3D counterpart: a rectangle is a 2D shape, and a cylinder is its 3D form. Similarly, a triangle is a 2D shape, and a cone is its 3D counterpart, making option C the correct analogous pair.

The pair 'Intimidate : Wheedle' consists of words with opposite meanings (intimidate means to frighten, wheedle means to coax or persuade). Similarly, 'Extol : Disparage' are antonyms where 'extol' means to praise and 'disparage' means to belittle. Hence, option D is the correct analogous pair.

A trilogy is a series of three novels, so the relationship is that of a series to its individual parts. Similarly, a serial is a series composed of episodes. Therefore, 'Serial : Episode' is the correct analogous pair.

The analogy Visitor : Welcome implies that a visitor is typically welcomed. Similarly, a warrior is expected to conquer. Option D (Warrior : Conquer) correctly reflects this relationship, whereas option C (Criminal : Prosecute) reflects an action done to the criminal, not an expected characteristic or outcome like 'welcome' for visitor.

The analogy 'Filter : Water' implies an action performed on an object to improve or modify it. 'Edit : Text' similarly represents an action performed on text to improve or modify it, making it the best analogous pair. 'Censor : Play' involves suppression rather than improvement, so it is less analogous.

A preamble is an introductory statement to a constitution, just as a preface is an introductory section of a book. Both pairs show the relationship of an introduction to a larger work, making option D the correct analogous pair.

The pair 'Coffee : Beverages' shows a specific item and its broader category. Similarly, 'Burger : Snacks' pairs a specific food item with its general category, making it the correct analogous pair. Other options either pair two items of the same category or unrelated items.

The analogy 'Farce : Absurdity' shows a relationship where 'Farce' is a type of comedy characterized by absurdity. Similarly, 'Charity : Generosity' relates because charity is an act that stems from generosity. The other options do not show a similar relationship of type or characteristic.

A cistern is a container that holds water, similarly, a cup is a container that holds tea. This makes the pair 'Cup : Tea' analogous to 'Cistern : Water'.

The analogy 'Dawn : Morning' relates a part or cause to the whole or effect, as dawn is the beginning part of the morning. Similarly, 'Lamp : Light' relates an object to what it produces or provides. Other options do not show this clear analogous relationship.
