English

The pair 'Agreement : Dissent' represents antonyms (opposites in meaning). Among the options, 'Schism : Diverge' is the best analogous pair because 'Schism' means a split or division, and 'Diverge' means to separate or go in different directions, which are related concepts of separation, somewhat analogous to opposition. 'Touchdown : Penalty' are not strict antonyms but rather different events in sports, and 'Latitude : Resistance' and 'Impasse : Concede' do not form clear antonym or analogous pairs. Therefore, option C is the most appropriate analogous pair.

The analogy is between a noun and the action it performs or is associated with. 'State' is related to 'Exile' as the state can exile someone. Similarly, 'Police' is related to 'Arrest' as the police arrest people. Thus, 'Police : Arrest' is the correct analogous pair.

A 'sneer' is an expression showing 'contempt', just as a 'grimace' is an expression showing 'pain'. Both pairs show a facial expression linked to an emotion or feeling, making them analogous.

The analogy 'Gypsy : Caravan' relates a person to the typical place or thing associated with them. A Gypsy is commonly associated with a Caravan as their dwelling or mode of transport. Similarly, a Convict is associated with a Cell as their place of confinement, making option D the correct analogous pair.

The analogy 'Portico : Building' relates a part to the whole. A portico is a part of a building. Similarly, a wheel is a part of a bicycle. Option A correctly reflects this part-to-whole relationship, whereas option D relates two similar types of structures, not a part to a whole.

The analogy 'Onam : Kerala' relates a festival to the region where it is predominantly celebrated. Similarly, 'Bihu : Assam' is a festival associated with the state of Assam, making option D the correct analogous pair.

The analogy 'Food : Hungry' relates a cause to its effect or what it satisfies. Food satisfies hunger. Similarly, 'Wine : Intoxication' relates wine as the cause and intoxication as the effect. Option C ('Rest : Weary') is incorrect because rest relieves weariness, not analogous to food causing hunger.

The analogy compares a person to the place where their activity occurs. A wrestler performs in an arena, similarly, cricket is played on a pitch. Thus, 'Cricket : Pitch' is the correct analogous pair.

A sculptor works in an atelier (a workshop or studio), just as a miner works in a quarry (a place where mining occurs). This makes option B the correct analogous pair.

The analogy is between 'Bridge' and 'Cards' where 'Bridge' is a type of card game. Similarly, 'Dam' is a structure related to a 'River'. The other options do not show a similar relationship: 'Gamble' is an action involving 'Money', 'Image' is reflected by a 'Mirror', and 'Fencing' is a sport involving a 'Sword', but these relationships differ in nature from the original pair.

The analogy 'Iodine : Goitre' is based on a cause-effect or deficiency-disease relationship, where lack of iodine causes goitre. Similarly, 'Insulin : Diabetes' reflects that lack of insulin causes diabetes, making option A the correct analogous pair.

The analogy 'Executioner : Criminal' represents the relationship where the first is a person who acts upon or deals with the second. An executioner is the person who executes (kills) a criminal as a form of punishment. Similarly, a butcher is a person who kills animals for meat. Thus, 'Butcher : Animals' is the best analogous pair because it reflects the same agent-to-object relationship. Option B ('Convict : Murderer') is a relationship of category or subset (a murderer is a type of convict), which is different from the original relationship.

A 'Shard' is a fragment of 'Pottery', just as a 'Canto' is a section or division of a 'Poem'. Both pairs show a part-to-whole relationship, making option B the correct analogous pair.

The analogy 'Horse : Mare' pairs a male animal with its female counterpart. Similarly, 'Fox : Vixen' pairs a male fox with its female counterpart, making option D the correct analogous pair.

The pair 'Light : Darkness' represents opposites. Among the options, 'Sanity : Madness' is also a pair of opposites, making it the correct analogous pair. Option B ('Education : Illiteracy') is close but less direct as illiteracy is a lack of education rather than a direct opposite.

The analogy is between an organ and the field of study related to it. 'Heart : Cardiology' pairs an organ with its medical specialty. Similarly, 'Fossils : Paleontology' pairs fossils with the scientific study of fossils, making option D the correct analogous pair.

The analogy 'Rectangle : Pentagon' compares two different types of polygons, so the analogous pair should also be two different types of shapes. Option C, 'Triangle : Rectangle,' fits this pattern as both are polygons, making it the correct answer.

The analogy 'Fragile : Crack' shows a relationship where the first word describes a property that leads to the second word (fragile things tend to crack). Similarly, 'Pliable : Bend' shows that something pliable can bend. Hence, option B is the correct analogous pair.

The analogy 'Border : Country' relates a border as something that encloses or frames a country. Similarly, a 'Frame' encloses or surrounds a 'Picture', making option D the correct analogous pair.

The pair 'Proscenium : Stage' represents a part-to-whole relationship, where a proscenium is a part of a stage. Similarly, a 'Portico' is a part of a 'House', making option C the correct analogous pair.

The analogy 'Parsing : Grammar' shows a relationship where parsing is an action performed on or related to grammar. Similarly, 'Cleaning : House' shows an action (cleaning) performed on or related to a house. Option D correctly reflects this analogous relationship. Option C ('Paratrooping : Air Force') is incorrect because 'paratrooping' is an activity related to the Air Force but the analogy is less direct and 'Air Force' is misspelled as 'Air Forse'.

The pair 'Rotate : Gyrate' shows two words with similar meanings related to turning or spinning. Similarly, 'Absolve : Exonerate' are synonyms meaning to free from blame or guilt, making option D the correct analogous pair. Other options do not show synonym relationships.

A novel is a type of story, just as a dictionary is a type of book. This shows a category-to-member relationship, making option C the correct analogous pair.

The pair 'Accident : Mishap' consists of synonyms, as both words mean an unfortunate event. Similarly, 'Abrupt : Sudden' are synonyms describing something happening quickly or unexpectedly, making option C the correct analogous pair.

The analogy 'Cool : Frigid' shows a relationship where the second word is a more intense form of the first, both describing degrees of coldness. 'Cool' means moderately cold, while 'Frigid' means extremely cold. Similarly, 'Tepid' means moderately warm, and 'Torrid' means very hot or intensely warm. Thus, the pair 'Tepid : Torrid' matches the same intensity relationship as 'Cool : Frigid'. The original option C had a spelling error ('Torried' instead of 'Torrid'), which has been corrected here. Therefore, the correct analogous pair is option C.
