Amnesia is the loss of memory, so the analogy compares 'Memorise' (to remember) with its opposite condition. Similarly, 'Movement' is the ability to move, and its opposite condition is 'Paralysis' (loss of movement). Hence, the correct answer is C.

The analogy is between a structure and its component part. A staircase includes banisters as a part, just as a deck includes railings as a part. Therefore, 'Deck : Railings' is the correct analogous pair.

Necromancy is a form of magic involving communication with ghosts or spirits. Similarly, sorcery is a type of magic often associated with spirits. Thus, the pair 'Sorcery : Spirits' is analogous to 'Necromancy : Ghosts'.

Zinc is commonly used in galvanisation to prevent corrosion, while nickel is widely used in electroplating to provide a protective and decorative coating. Thus, the analogy correctly pairs nickel with electroplating.

The pair 'Thanks : Gratitude' shows a relationship where the first word is an expression and the second is the feeling or concept behind it. Similarly, 'Courtesy : Manners' relates an expression of politeness to the general behavior it represents, making it the best analogous pair. Option C ('Protest : Resentment') is less direct, as protest is an action and resentment is an emotion, but they are not as closely analogous as A.

The analogy 'Theft : Confess' pairs an act with the action of admitting to it. Similarly, 'Fault : Admit' pairs a wrongdoing with the action of admitting it, making option B the correct analogous pair.

A yawn is often a sign or result of boredom, just as a smile is often a sign or result of amusement. Therefore, the pair Smile : Amusement is analogous to Yawn : Boredom.

The analogy 'Cereals : Grit' relates a broad category (Cereals) to a processed form or product derived from it (Grits, which are coarsely ground cereal grains, typically corn). Similarly, 'Dal : Pulses' relates a processed form (Dal, which is split, hulled pulses) to its broader category (Pulses). Therefore, option A is the correct analogous pair. Option C is incorrect because 'Metanil' is unrelated to pulses. Options B and D do not show a similar category-to-product relationship.

The pair 'House : Ceiling' shows a relationship where the second word is a part of the first. Similarly, 'Hut : Roof' shows the roof as a part of the hut, making option A the correct analogous pair.

The pair 'Implicate : Incriminate' shows a relationship where the first word suggests involvement leading to the second word, which is a specific wrongdoing. Similarly, 'Involvement : Malpractice' follows the same pattern, where involvement leads to malpractice. Option B ('Exonerate : Acquit') shows synonyms, not an analogous cause-effect or category relationship.

The analogy is between a sport and the place where it is played. 'Badminton : Court' pairs a sport with its playing area. Similarly, 'Skating : Rink' pairs the sport of skating with its playing area, the rink, making option C the correct analogous pair.

The analogy 'Embroider : Cloth' shows an action performed on a material. 'Chase : Metal' similarly represents an action (chasing, a metalworking technique) performed on a material (metal). The other options do not maintain this relationship correctly.

The analogy compares 'Hear' to 'Deaf' (an inability to hear). Similarly, 'Speak' should be paired with the inability to speak. The best fit from the options is 'Dumb,' which historically meant unable to speak (though it is now considered outdated and offensive). 'Silent' means not speaking but does not imply inability to speak, and 'Mumb' is a misspelling of 'mumble.' 'Quiet' is unrelated as it means making little or no noise. Therefore, the correct answer is 'Dumb.'

The pair 'Friendly : Inimical' is an antonymous pair, where 'friendly' means kind and 'inimical' means hostile or unfriendly. The question asks to choose an analogous pair, meaning a pair with a similar relationship. Among the options, 'Condemnation : Approval' is also an antonymous pair, representing opposite meanings, just like the original pair. The other options do not represent antonyms: 'Lithosphere : Hydrosphere' are parts of the Earth system, not opposites; 'Abstain : Refrain' are synonyms or closely related actions; 'Disappointment : Embarrassment' are different emotions but not antonyms. Therefore, the correct analogous pair is option B.

The analogy 'Canvas : Painter' relates a material or medium to the person who uses it. A painter uses a canvas to create art, similarly, a carpenter uses a hammer as a tool to work. Option D correctly reflects this relationship. Option C reverses the order by placing the material first and the person second, which is inconsistent with the original analogy.

Christians traditionally practice burial as a method of handling the dead, whereas Hindus traditionally practice cremation. Thus, the analogy compares the customary funeral practices of the two religions.

The analogy 'Hillock : Mountain' represents a smaller form to a larger form of a similar natural feature. Similarly, 'Bush : Forest' represents a smaller form (bush) to a larger form (forest) of vegetation, making option C the correct analogous pair.

The phrase 'Necessity : Invention' reflects the idea that necessity drives invention. Similarly, 'Curiosity : Knowledge' shows that curiosity leads to knowledge, making them analogous pairs. The other options do not show this cause-effect or generative relationship.

The analogy compares 'Food' to 'Fad' where a fad is a temporary popular trend related to food. The question asks for a similar relationship with 'Religion'. Among the options, 'Superstition' best fits as it represents irrational or unfounded beliefs often associated with religion, similar to how a fad is a transient trend related to food. 'Mythology' refers to traditional stories or beliefs that form a broader and more established part of religion, not a fleeting or superficial trend. 'Crucifixion' is a specific event in Christianity and 'Notion' is too vague. Therefore, 'Superstition' is the most appropriate answer to complete the analogy.

Prairies are large grassland areas primarily found in North America, while Downs refer to rolling grasslands or chalk hills commonly found in Australia. Thus, the analogy correctly matches Prairies to North America and Downs to Australia.

The analogy 'Balance : Weigh' relates an instrument to its function. A balance is used to weigh objects. Similarly, a radar is used for detection. Hence, 'Radar : Detection' is the correct analogous pair.

The pair 'Sprain : Fracture' represents two types of injuries affecting the musculoskeletal system: a sprain is an injury to ligaments (soft tissue), while a fracture is a break in the bone (hard tissue). Both are injuries but differ in the type of tissue affected. The analogous pair should reflect a similar relationship of degree or intensity within a related concept. Option B, 'Excitement : Frenzy,' shows a relationship of increasing intensity or degree within emotional states, which is analogous to the relationship between sprain and fracture as both are injuries but differ in severity or type. Option D, 'Fever : Malaria,' represents a symptom-disease relationship, which is not analogous to the injury-type relationship in the original pair. Therefore, the correct analogous pair is B.

The analogy compares a professional to the tool they commonly use. A surgeon uses a scalpel, just as a sculptor uses a chisel, making option C the correct analogous pair.

The pair 'Cat : Mouse' represents a predator-prey relationship. Similarly, 'Bird : Worm' also shows a predator-prey relationship, making option C the correct analogous pair.

The analogy 'Partridge : Covery' refers to a partridge being part of a group called a 'covey' (sometimes spelled 'covery'). This is a collective noun for a group of partridges. Similarly, 'Goods : Consignment' relates goods to a batch or shipment called a consignment, which is a commercial term for goods sent to an agent for sale or shipment while ownership remains with the sender until sold. Other options do not correctly represent such a collective or group relationship. Therefore, option D is the best analogous pair.
