English

Solicitous means showing concern or care, so it relates to Concern. Similarly, Verbose means using more words than necessary, which relates to Wordiness. Hence, the correct analogy is Verbose : Wordiness.

Physiology is a branch of Biology, just as Metaphysics is a branch of Philosophy. Therefore, the correct analogy pairs Metaphysics with Philosophy.

The analogy compares 'Gents' to 'Cap' and 'Ladies' to an item commonly associated with women. 'Gents' is a term for men, and 'Cap' is a typical men's headwear. Similarly, 'Ladies' refers to women, and 'Hairband' is a common women's hair accessory, making it the best match among the options.

A curator is the person in charge of a museum, similarly, a warden is the person in charge of a prison. Therefore, the correct analogy is Museum : Curator :: Prison : Warden.

A 'knoll' is a small hill, so the analogy is between a smaller or specific type of hill and a specific type of poem. An 'eclogue' is a type of poem, specifically a pastoral poem, often a short poem about rural life. Among the options, 'ballad' is also a type of poem, but 'eclogue' is more specifically a type of poem rather than a general poem. Since 'knoll' is a specific kind of hill, the analogy pairs a specific kind of hill to a specific kind of poem, so the best match is 'ballad' as a specific poetic form, not just 'poem' which is too general.

The analogy compares an event and the emotion associated with it. Victory is an event that is associated with the emotion of Happiness. Failure is the opposite event, and the emotion most commonly associated with failure is Sadness. Therefore, the correct analogy is Victory : Happiness :: Failure : Sadness. 'Defeat' is a synonym or related event to Failure, not an emotional state, so it is not the best fit for this analogy.

A politician resigns from office, similarly, a king abdicates the throne. Both 'resign' and 'abdicate' refer to formally giving up a position of power or responsibility, making 'King' the correct analogy for 'Abdicate'.

The brain is protected by the cranium, just as a pearl is found inside an oyster. This analogy shows a relationship of containment or protection.

The analogy is based on predator-prey relationships. A mouse is prey to a cat, which is a predator. Similarly, a fly is commonly prey to a spider, which catches flies in webs and preys on them. Rats are not typical predators of flies, so 'Spider' is the more accurate answer for the analogy.

A mirror is associated with reflection because it reflects light. Similarly, water is associated with refraction because light bends when it passes through water. Hence, the correct analogy is Mirror : Reflection :: Water : Refraction.
