Analogies (Related Pair of Words)

The analogy compares a cause and its effect or result. 'Fast' (as in fasting or abstaining from food) causes 'Hunger' (the feeling of needing food). Similarly, a 'Race' causes 'Fatigue' (tiredness or exhaustion from running). Therefore, the correct analogy completion is 'Fatigue' rather than 'Horse', because 'Horse' is not an effect or result of a race but rather a participant. The analogy is about cause and effect, not participant and event.

A book is used for reading, just as a fork is used for eating. The analogy matches the object to its primary function.

The analogy compares opposites: 'candid' is the opposite of 'indirect', just as 'honest' is the opposite of 'devious'. Therefore, 'honest: devious' is the correct analogy.

The analogy compares the relationship between a doctor and a nurse to that between a leader and a follower. In healthcare, doctors typically lead clinical decisions, and nurses follow these directives while contributing their expertise. Similarly, in leadership dynamics, a leader guides and a follower supports and implements the leader's vision. Therefore, the correct analogy is Doctor : Nurse :: Leader : Follower. The original answer 'B' (Leader) is incorrect because it does not reflect the complementary roles in the analogy. The correct answer is 'A' (Follower).

The analogy compares opposites: 'Refined' is the opposite of 'Plebeian,' just as 'Selective' is the opposite of 'Indiscriminate.' 'Indiscriminate' is the correct antonym for 'Selective.'
