Analogies (Related Pair of Words)

The analogy compares 'Moon' to 'Satellite' as 'Earth' to 'Planet'. The Moon is a natural satellite of Earth, meaning it orbits Earth. Earth itself is a planet, which is a large celestial body orbiting the Sun. The original analogy incorrectly matched Earth to 'Solar System', which is a system containing Earth, not a category or type of Earth. The correct analogy is Moon : Satellite :: Earth : Planet, because the Moon is a type of satellite, and Earth is a type of planet.

The analogy compares pairs of words with opposite meanings. 'Nurture' is the opposite of 'Neglect'. Similarly, 'Denigrate' means to criticize unfairly or defame, so its opposite should be a word meaning to praise or honor. Among the options, 'Extol' means to praise highly and is the correct opposite of 'Denigrate'. Therefore, the correct answer is 'B' (Extol).

A drill is used to bore holes, similarly a sieve is used to sift materials. Thus, the correct analogy is 'Sieve : Sift'.

Influenza is caused by a virus, and typhoid is caused by bacteria (Salmonella typhi). Therefore, the correct analogy is Influenza : Virus :: Typhoid : Bacteria.

The analogy compares a house to garbage, where garbage is the unwanted or waste material from a house. Similarly, ore is a mineral from which valuable metals are extracted, and gangue is the worthless material that surrounds or is mixed with the ore. Thus, gangue is to ore as garbage is to house.

A mosaic is made up of many tiles arranged together, just as macrame is created by tying many knots together. Therefore, the relationship between 'Tile' and 'Mosaic' is analogous to that between 'Knot' and 'Macrame'.

The analogy compares a specific type to its general category: a Poodle is a type of Dog, just as a Moose is a type of Deer. Therefore, the correct answer is D.
