English

Choose the analogous pair: Inn : Traveller

Correct answer: D

A
Lodging : Man
B
Country : Citizen
C
Dormitory : Students
D
Ashram : Gurus
Correct
Explanation and memory cue

An inn is a place where a traveller stays, so the relationship is 'place : people who stay there.' Similarly, an ashram is a place where gurus reside. Option D correctly reflects this analogous relationship. Option C (Dormitory : Students) is close but less precise because dormitories house students temporarily, while ashrams are more specifically associated with gurus.

English

Choose the analogous pair: Choose : Discard

Correct answer: D

A
Draw : Push
B
Love : Adore
C
Walk : Run
D
Sit : Stand
Correct
Explanation and memory cue

The analogy requires a pair where the second word is an action related to the first, similar to 'Choose' and 'Discard' which are opposite actions. 'Sit : Stand' are opposite actions, making option D the best analogous pair. Option A ('Draw : Push') does not have a clear opposite or related action relationship like 'Choose : Discard'.

Analogies (Related Pair of Words)

English

Choose the analogous pair: Capricious : Reliability

Correct answer: C

A
Arbitrary : Whimsical
B
Unreliable : Inhuman
C
Tenacious : Practicality
Correct
D
Extemporaneous : Predictability
Explanation and memory cue

The relationship between 'Capricious' and 'Reliability' is one of opposites: 'Capricious' means unpredictable or impulsive, which is the opposite of 'Reliability,' meaning dependability or consistency. Therefore, the analogy is based on contrasting qualities. Among the options, 'Tenacious' (meaning persistent or determined) and 'Practicality' (meaning being practical or realistic) also represent contrasting qualities, as tenacity may sometimes conflict with practicality. Option D ('Extemporaneous : Predictability') also shows opposites but is less precise because 'Extemporaneous' means spontaneous or improvised, which is not a direct opposite of 'Predictability.' Option A ('Arbitrary : Whimsical') pairs two similar adjectives, not opposites. Hence, the best analogous pair is option C.

easy
English

Choose the analogous pair: Streptococci : Pneumonia

Correct answer: C

A
Quinine : Malaria
B
Boat : Sea
C
Mosquito : Malaria
Correct
D
Malnutrition : Rickets
Explanation and memory cue

The analogy 'Streptococci : Pneumonia' represents a cause and effect relationship, where Streptococci bacteria cause Pneumonia. Among the options, the pair 'Mosquito : Malaria' (option C) also represents a cause and effect relationship, as mosquitoes transmit the malaria parasite causing the disease. Option A ('Quinine : Malaria') represents a treatment and disease relationship, which is not analogous to the cause-effect relationship in the question. Therefore, the correct analogous pair is option C.

easy
English

Choose the analogous pair: Stage : Theatre

Correct answer: A

A
Bedroom : House
Correct
B
Car : Road
C
Patient : Hospital
D
School : Education
Explanation and memory cue

The analogy 'Stage : Theatre' represents a part-to-whole relationship, where a stage is a part of a theatre. Similarly, 'Bedroom : House' is a part-to-whole relationship because a bedroom is a part of a house. This makes option A the best analogous pair. Option B ('Car : Road') shows a functional relationship (a car uses a road), not a part-to-whole relationship. Options C ('Patient : Hospital') and D ('School : Education') do not represent part-to-whole relationships either.

Choose the analogous pair: Roof : Foundation

Correct answer: D

A
Plateau : Plain
B
Hay : Grass
C
Hill : Mountain
D
Peak : Valley
Correct
Explanation and memory cue

The analogy 'Roof : Foundation' compares the top part of a structure to its bottom supporting part. Among the options, 'Peak : Valley' best represents a similar relationship of opposites in elevation, with the peak being the highest point and the valley the lowest. Other options like 'Plateau : Plain' represent different landforms but not a direct analogous relationship of top and bottom parts. Therefore, the correct analogous pair is 'Peak : Valley'.

Correct answer: C

A
School : Students

Library : Books
Correct
D
Observatory : Planets

English

Choose the analogous pair: Lawn : Grass

Correct answer: A

A
Wool : Sheep
Correct
B
Skin : Goat
C
Fur : Pelt
D
Rice : Farm
Explanation and memory cue

The analogy 'Lawn : Grass' represents a whole-to-part relationship, where a lawn is an area covered with grass. Similarly, 'Wool : Sheep' shows a part-to-whole relationship, where wool is the fiber that grows on a sheep. This is the closest analogous pair among the options. 'Fur : Pelt' is actually a part-to-whole relationship where the pelt is the whole skin with fur, but it is less directly analogous to lawn and grass. 'Skin : Goat' and 'Rice : Farm' do not represent similar whole-part or part-whole relationships as clearly. Therefore, option A is the best analogous pair.

Choose the analogous pair: Lamb : Frisk

Correct answer: D

A
Deer : Swoop
B
Cat : Steal
C
Bear : Leap
D
Lion : Stride
Correct
Explanation and memory cue

The analogy asks for a pair where the first word is an animal and the second word is a typical movement or action associated with that animal. 'Lamb : Frisk' shows an animal and a characteristic movement (frisk means to leap or skip playfully). Among the options, 'Lion : Stride' best matches this pattern, as 'stride' is a typical way a lion moves. Other options either pair animals with unrelated actions or actions not typically associated with those animals.

Choose the analogous pair: Garbage : Dustbin

Correct answer: D

A
Tree : Honey
B
Medicine : Capsule
C
Kitchen : House
D
Bangles : Hand
Correct
Explanation and memory cue

The analogy 'Garbage : Dustbin' shows a relationship where the first item is typically contained or held by the second. Similarly, 'Bangles : Hand' shows bangles are worn on the hand, indicating a container or holder relationship. Option B ('Medicine : Capsule') is incorrect because a capsule contains medicine, not the other way around, so the order is reversed.

English

Choose the analogous pair: Equator : Latitude

Correct answer: B

A
Visitor : Guest
B
Needle : Direction
Correct
C
Fish : Water
D
Pigeon : Bird
Explanation and memory cue

The analogy 'Equator : Latitude' relates a specific example to the general category it belongs to. The Equator is a specific line of latitude. Similarly, a Needle (such as a compass needle) is a specific tool used to indicate Direction. Therefore, 'Needle : Direction' is the correct analogous pair. Other options do not fit this specific-to-general category relationship as clearly: 'Visitor : Guest' are synonyms, 'Fish : Water' is a habitat relationship, and 'Pigeon : Bird' is a specific-to-general category but less analogous to the given pair than option B, which involves a tool and its function related to direction, similar to Equator and Latitude.
