Analogies (Related Pair of Words)

The analogy compares an attribute to an animal known for that attribute. 'Cunning' is associated with a 'Fox', so 'Timid' should be paired with an animal known for timidity, such as a 'Rabbit'.

The analogy compares a general category to a specific example: 'Ocean' is a category, and 'Pacific' is a specific ocean. Similarly, 'Island' is a category, and 'Borneo' is a specific island, making option D the correct answer.

A visitor is someone who receives an invitation to attend, similarly, a witness is someone who is typically summoned by a subpoena to appear in court. Thus, the relationship between visitor and invitation parallels that of witness and subpoena.

The analogy compares an animal to the sound it makes. A horse neighs, and similarly, a jackal howls. Therefore, 'Howl' is the correct sound associated with a jackal.

The analogy compares capital cities to their respective countries. Ottawa is the capital of Canada, and Canberra is the capital of Australia, making option D correct.

The analogy compares the function or medium associated with the first word. A bank deals with money, so transport deals with roads (the medium or means by which transport occurs). 'Goods' are what transport carries, not the medium itself, so 'Road' is the best fit.

Igloos are traditional snow houses associated with Canada, while Rondavels are traditional round huts commonly found in Africa. Thus, the analogy compares traditional dwellings to their respective regions.

The analogy compares a Nautilus to a Fish, where the Nautilus is a type of marine animal but not a fish. Similarly, a Teal is a type of duck, which is a waterfowl, not a chicken, dolphin, or pigeon. Therefore, the correct analogy is Teal : Duck.

An entrepreneur typically aims to earn profit, similarly, a scholar aims to gain knowledge. Thus, the relationship is between a person and their goal or outcome.

The analogy compares two related animals: Lemur is a type of primate like Monkey, and similarly, Rook is a type of bird like Crow. Hence, the correct answer is Crow.

The analogy 'Atom : Matter' means an atom is a basic unit that makes up matter. Similarly, a particle is a basic unit that makes up matter or substances. Among the options, 'Dust' is a collection of particles, not a basic unit. 'Proton' and 'Electron' are subatomic particles that make up atoms, not analogous to matter. 'Molecule' is made up of atoms, so it is not analogous to matter either. The best analogy is 'Particle : Dust' because dust is made up of many particles, just as matter is made up of many atoms. Therefore, the correct analogy is Atom : Matter :: Particle : Dust.

A coconut is enclosed by a shell, similarly, a letter is enclosed by an envelope. Thus, the relationship is that of an object and its enclosing container.

A rill is a small stream, and similarly, a pony is a small horse. The analogy compares a smaller form to its larger counterpart, making 'Horse' the correct answer.

An archipelago is a group or cluster of islands, just as a massif is a group or cluster of mountains. Therefore, the correct analogy is Archipelago : Islands :: Massif : Mountains.

A knife is used to cut, and similarly, an axe is used to chop. Both pairs show a tool and its typical action, making 'Chop' the correct analogy for 'Axe'.

The analogy 'Produce : Waste' relates to the process of creating or generating something and its resulting byproduct. Similarly, 'Contrast : Match' represents a relationship where two things are compared by highlighting differences (contrast) or similarities (match). Among the options, 'Match' is the best counterpart to 'Contrast' in analogy form.

Pongee is a type of fabric traditionally made from silk, characterized by its slubbed texture created by unevenly twisted yarns. The analogy 'Pongee : Silk' relates a product to its material. Shallot, however, is a vegetable composed of multiple thin, overlapping skins. Among the options, 'Stream' (D) metaphorically fits better as it can be associated with the natural flow and layering concept similar to the layers of a shallot, unlike 'Boat', 'Building', or 'Ship' which are man-made objects unrelated to shallots. The original analogy is flawed because shallot is not a material for making any of the options, but 'Stream' is the closest metaphorical match in the given choices.

The analogy compares opposite meanings (antonyms). "Insert" is the opposite of "Extract." Therefore, "Mighty" should be paired with its antonym "Feeble." Among the options, "Feeble" (option D) is the correct antonym of "Mighty." "Strong" (option B) is a synonym, not an antonym, so it is incorrect here.

The analogy compares a person to the domain or field they work in. A scout is associated with the army, so similarly, a clerk is associated with administration, which is the correct corresponding domain.

Mastic is a type of gum, so the analogy compares a substance to its category or type. Suet is a type of fat, making 'Fat' the correct analogous pair to 'Gum'.

The analogy compares 'Noise' to 'Din' (both meaning loud sound) and asks for a similar pair where 'Quiet' relates to a synonym. 'Hush' is a synonym for 'Quiet', making option A correct.

An oasis is a fertile spot in a desert, surrounded by sand, just as an island is a land surrounded by sea. Therefore, the correct analogy is Island : Sea.

The analogy compares a material to the person who works with it: a cobbler works with leather, similarly, a carpenter works with wood. Therefore, the correct answer is 'Carpenter'.

A ship is associated with the sea as its natural environment, similarly, a camel is associated with the desert as its natural habitat. Therefore, the correct analogy is Camel : Desert.

The analogy compares two musical instruments: Harp is to Drum as Flute is to Bugle. Both pairs consist of string and percussion instruments (Harp and Drum) and wind instruments (Flute and Bugle). Therefore, Bugle is the correct answer.
