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'.

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 '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.

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 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.

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.

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 '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.

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'.

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.
