Analogies (Related Pair of Words)

Rickets, scurvy, and beri-beri are all diseases caused by deficiencies of specific vitamins: vitamin D, vitamin C, and vitamin B1 respectively. This makes option C the correct analogy.

John F. Kennedy was the President of the United States and was assassinated in 1963. Indira Gandhi was the Prime Minister of India and was assassinated in 1984 by her Sikh bodyguards. Olof Palme was the Prime Minister of Sweden and was assassinated in 1986. Therefore, all three leaders were assassinated, making option D the correct answer. Option B is incorrect because Kennedy was a President, not a Prime Minister, while Indira Gandhi and Olof Palme were Prime Ministers. Option A is incorrect because Kennedy was a President, not a President of a country with a Prime Minister system, and Palme was a Prime Minister, not a President. Option C is incorrect as there is no evidence that they were particularly popular among children.

Green, violet, and orange are secondary colors formed by mixing primary colors (red, blue, and yellow). They are not primary colors themselves, they do appear in rainbows, and they can be found in butterflies, so option C is the best choice.

The analogy compares a horse to a pony (an adult horse to a smaller or younger horse) and mare (a female horse). The pattern is adult animal : smaller/younger form : female of the species. Among the options, only option D (Cat : Kitten : Puppy) partially fits the pattern, but puppy is not a female cat, so it is not a perfect match. However, option A (Sheep : Lamb : Goat) is inconsistent because goat is a different animal, not a female sheep or a young sheep. The best analogy for Mare (female horse) would be a female form of the animal or a young form. Since none of the options perfectly match the pattern, the closest is option D, where kitten is the young cat, though puppy is unrelated. The original answer A is incorrect because goat is unrelated to sheep and lamb. Therefore, the correct answer is D.

The analogy is between an object and the action performed on it. 'Shrub : Prune' means pruning is the action done to a shrub. Similarly, 'Beard : Shave' means shaving is the action done to a beard, making option A the correct analogous pair.

Paradeep, Haldia, and Kandla are all well-known port towns in India, making option C the correct analogy. The other options are either too broad or not specific to the nature of these places.

Ulna, Pelvis, and Tibia are all names of bones in the human body, making option D the correct analogy.

Colorado, Seine, and Volga are all names of rivers, so the correct analogy category is 'Rivers'.

The analogy compares the relationship between hair and brush to that between wig and another set of items. A brush is a tool used to manage or style hair, and similarly, cement and bricks are materials used together to create a building, which is the final product. The wig is related to hair as a styled or constructed form, and the analogy extends to the process of building something from raw materials (cement and bricks) to a finished product (building). Thus, option C (Cement : Brick : Building) best fits the analogy.

Stork, goose, and duck are all types of water birds, which is the common analogy linking them. The other options are either factually incorrect or irrelevant to the analogy.

The analogy compares a product to its source or category. A newspaper is a product of the press, similarly, cloth is a product of textiles. Therefore, 'Textile' is the correct answer.

The analogy 'Pink : Red : White' represents a progression of colors where Pink is a lighter tint of Red (created by adding white), and White is a neutral color. The best matching analogous progression in the options is 'Green : Blue : Yellow' (Option B), which are colors that are related and adjacent on the color wheel, similar to how Pink, Red, and White relate in terms of color progression and relationship. The original answer (C) does not reflect a clear or logical color relationship pattern. Therefore, Option B is the correct answer based on color theory and analogous color relationships.

Bantus, Khasis, and Maoris are all names of distinct tribal or ethnic groups. Therefore, the correct analogy is 'Tribal groups'. The other options do not accurately describe all three groups.

The analogy compares a progression of related emotional expressions or actions. Smile, Laugh, and Cry represent increasing intensity or change in emotional expression. Similarly, Touch, Catch, and Release represent a logical sequence of related actions progressing in a connected manner. Other options do not show a clear progression or related sequence that matches the original analogy. Therefore, option D (Touch : Catch : Release) is the best match for the analogy Smile : Laugh : Cry.

The analogy is between 'Gram' and 'Grain', both of which are units of weight measurement. A grain is a small unit of weight historically used in the avoirdupois and troy weight systems, and a gram is a metric unit of mass. Similarly, 'Pound' is also a unit of weight. Therefore, the correct analogy completion is 'Weight', as it represents the category or concept that 'Gram', 'Grain', and 'Pound' all measure. The original answer 'C' (Cereals) is incorrect because 'Grain' in this context refers to a unit of weight, not cereal grains.

Forgery, fabrication, and counterfeit all relate to acts of deception or dishonesty. Among the options, 'Deceit' best captures the common theme of dishonesty linking the given words, making it the correct analogy.

In biological classification, species are grouped into genera (plural of genus), and genera are further grouped into families. The analogy Species : Genera :: Family : ? is asking for the next hierarchical level after Family, which is Order. However, since the options do not provide taxonomic ranks but descriptive statements, the best fitting answer is that these terms represent groups of animals (or organisms). Species, genera, and family are hierarchical groups used in biological taxonomy to classify living organisms. Therefore, the option 'These are groups of animals.' best fits the analogy contextually.

Sarnath, Kapilavastu, and Sanchi are all historically significant places associated with Lord Buddha. Sarnath is where Buddha gave his first sermon, Kapilavastu was his childhood home, and Sanchi is famous for its Buddhist stupas.

The analogy is based on hierarchical categorization: a magazine contains stories, just as literature includes novels and dramas. Option D correctly reflects this relationship, whereas the other options do not show a clear hierarchical or categorical relationship.

The analogy 'Chair : Door : Stick' groups three objects that are commonly made of wood, indicating a relationship based on the material they are made from. Among the options, only option D 'Book : Pen : Notebook' forms a consistent group of related items commonly associated with writing or stationery, which is a clearer and more logical analogy than the professions in option B or the unrelated items in other options. Therefore, option D is the best fit for the analogy.

The term "chucker" in sports primarily refers to a cricket bowler who is accused of throwing the ball illegally or a baseball pitcher who throws fastballs. The term "chukker" (or "chukka") refers to a period of play in polo, lasting about 7 minutes, during which players use mallets. "Bunder" is a term related to polo, referring to a defensive position or maneuver, similar to "bunker." Therefore, the analogy is: Chucker (cricket bowler) : Mallet (used in polo) :: Bunder (polo defensive position) : Polo (the sport). Hence, the correct answer is D (Polo).

The analogy compares specific roles within broader academic or intellectual categories. A Researcher is a general role that includes many types of inquiry, while a Historian is a specific type of Researcher focused on past events. Similarly, a Scholar is a broad term for an academic or intellectual, and Teacher, Professor, and Lecturer are specific instructional roles within education. Teachers typically work in K-12 education, Professors teach and conduct research at colleges or universities, and Lecturers primarily focus on teaching, often without research duties. Option C correctly reflects this parallel relationship.

The analogy shows a cause and effect or process relationship: Evaporation leads to Cloud formation, which leads to Rain. Similarly, an Accident can cause Injury, which leads to Pain. This sequence matches the pattern in the question.

The pair 'Interrupt : Speak' shows a relationship where 'interrupt' is an action that affects the act of 'speaking' by disrupting it. Similarly, 'Intrude : Enter' shows 'intrude' as an action that affects the act of 'entering' by doing so in an unwelcome or disruptive manner. Both pairs involve an action that interferes with or disrupts the second action. Other options do not show a similar relationship of disruption or interference between the two words.

Norman Borlaug is known for the Borlaug Award, Bhartendu Harishchandra is associated with the Bhartendu Award, and Birla is linked with the Birla Award. Thus, all three are linked with awards named after them.
