easy
English

Choose the analogous pair: Bread : Flour

Correct answer: C

A
Train : Wagon
B
Car : Engine
C
Road : Asphalt
Correct
D
House : Wall
Explanation and memory cue

The analogy 'Bread : Flour' represents a product and its raw material (flour is used to make bread). Among the options, 'Road : Asphalt' is the best analogous pair because asphalt is the raw material used to make a road. 'Train : Wagon' is a whole to part relationship (a train consists of wagons), which is different from product to raw material. 'Car : Engine' is a part to whole or function relationship, and 'House : Wall' is also a part to whole relationship. Therefore, option C is the most accurate analogy.

English

Choose the analogous pair: Calligraphy : Writing

Correct answer: C

A
Music : Song
B
Lyric : Poem
C
Drama : Prose
Correct
D
Chapter : Stanza
Explanation and memory cue

The analogy 'Calligraphy : Writing' relates a specific form or style (calligraphy) to its broader category (writing). Calligraphy is a specialized, artistic form of writing. Therefore, the analogous pair should also relate a specific form or style to its broader category. Option C ('Drama : Prose') fits this pattern because drama is a specific literary form within the broader category of prose (or literature). Option A ('Music : Song') is reversed in relationship since music is the broader category and song is a specific instance, which is the opposite direction of the original analogy. Option B ('Lyric : Poem') is incorrect because a lyric is a part of a poem, not a form-to-category relationship. Option D ('Chapter : Stanza') is incorrect because chapters and stanzas are parts of different literary units and do not share a form-to-category relationship analogous to calligraphy and writing.

Correct
B
Miserly : Philanthropic
C

'Costly : Cut-rate' is an analogous pair where 'Costly' means expensive and 'Cut-rate' means cheap, showing a similar contrast. Option B ('Miserly : Philanthropic') is also opposite in meaning but less analogous because 'Miserly' and 'Philanthropic' are adjectives describing personality traits rather than value or cost, making A a better analogy.

B

The analogy 'Conciliatory : Friendliness' shows a relationship where the first word describes an attitude or behavior intended to produce the second word. 'Conciliatory' means intended to placate or reconcile, which leads to friendliness.

Choose the analogous pair: Plaintiff : Defendant

Correct answer: D

A
Judge : Jury
B
Court : Law
C
Attorney : Lawyer
D
Injured : Accused
Correct
Explanation and memory cue

The analogy 'Plaintiff : Defendant' represents opposing parties in a legal dispute, where the plaintiff initiates the lawsuit and the defendant defends against it. The best analogous pair is 'Injured : Accused' because these also represent opposing roles in a legal context — the injured party is the one harmed, and the accused is the one alleged to have caused harm. 'Judge : Jury' are distinct roles within the legal system but are not opposing parties. 'Attorney : Lawyer' are synonyms, not opposing roles. 'Court : Law' are related but not analogous as opposing parties. Therefore, option D is the most accurate analogous pair.

The analogy 'Patriotism : Citizens' relates a quality or feeling to the group of people who possess or exhibit it.
