Analogies (Related Pair of Words)

easy
English

Choose the analogous pair: Jute : Sack

Correct answer: B

A
Shoe : Sock
B
Wool : Sweater
Correct
C
Cotton : Fibra
D
Mill : Cloth
Explanation and memory cue

The analogy 'Jute : Sack' shows a material and the product made from it. Jute is the raw material used to make sacks. Similarly, 'Wool : Sweater' relates a material (wool) and the product made from it (sweater). Option A ('Shoe : Sock') is incorrect because a shoe is worn over a sock, not made from it. Option C ('Cotton : Fibra') is incorrect because cotton is a material and fibra (fiber) is a general term, not a product made from cotton. Option D ('Mill : Cloth') is a place-product relationship, not material-product like the original analogy. Therefore, the correct analogous pair is B.

English

Choose the analogous pair: Pulp : Paper

Correct answer: D

A
Rope : Hemp
B
Rayon : Cellulose
C
Thread : Needle
D
Yarn : Fabric
Correct
Explanation and memory cue

The analogy 'Pulp : Paper' represents a raw material to finished product relationship, where pulp is the raw material used to make paper. Similarly, 'Yarn : Fabric' is a correct analogous pair because yarn is the raw material used to make fabric. Option A ('Rope : Hemp') is incorrect because hemp is the raw material and rope is the product, so the order is reversed. Option B ('Rayon : Cellulose') is also reversed since cellulose is the raw material for rayon. Option C ('Thread : Needle') is unrelated as a needle is a tool, not a product made from thread. Therefore, option D is the correct analogous pair matching the material-product order of the original pair.

Choose the analogous pair: Coal : Thermal

Correct answer: B

A
Power : Energy
B
Bulb : Light
Correct
C
Air : Atmosphere
D
Water : Hydel
Explanation and memory cue

The analogy 'Coal : Thermal' relates a fuel source to the type of energy it produces (thermal energy). Similarly, 'Bulb : Light' relates an object to the output it produces (light). Option D ('Water : Hydel') reverses the relationship, as 'Hydel' refers to hydroelectric power generated from water, not a direct analogous pair like the original.

Choose the analogous pair: Illiterate : Uneducated

Correct answer: C

A
Country : State
B
City : Village
C

Correct
D
Vision : Sight
Explanation and memory cue

The analogy 'Illiterate : Uneducated' shows a relationship of degree or intensity, where 'illiterate' is a specific form of being 'uneducated.' Similarly, 'Palace : Hut' represents a relationship of degree or scale, where a palace is a grander form of a hut. Option D ('Vision : Sight') are synonyms rather than an analogous pair showing a degree or subset relationship.

Analogies (Related Pair of Words)

medium
English

Choose the analogous pair: Plants : Coal

Correct answer: B

A
Crops : Manure
B
Animals : Oil
Correct
C
Cow : Milk
D
Fire : Smoke
Explanation and memory cue

The analogy 'Plants : Coal' represents the relationship where coal is formed from ancient plants over millions of years through geological processes. This is a transformation from a biological source to a fossil fuel. Among the options, 'Animals : Oil' is the best analogous pair because crude oil is formed from the remains of ancient marine animals and microorganisms over millions of years, similar to how coal forms from plants. Option A ('Crops : Manure') is incorrect because manure is not derived from crops but rather from animal waste. Option C ('Cow : Milk') and Option D ('Fire : Smoke') represent different types of relationships (producer-product and cause-effect respectively) and do not match the fossil fuel formation analogy. Therefore, the correct analogous pair is 'Animals : Oil'.

Correct
D

English

Choose the analogous pair: Leather : Milk

Correct answer: B

A
Cat : Mouse
B
Curd : Bacteria
Correct
C
Fruit : Rubber
D
Sun : Moon
Explanation and memory cue

The analogy Leather : Milk represents a product and its source or agent relationship. Leather is a product derived from animal hide, and milk is a product produced by animals. Among the options, 'Curd : Bacteria' is the closest analogous pair because curd is a product formed by the action of bacteria on milk, representing a product-agent relationship similar to leather and milk. 'Cat : Mouse' is a predator-prey relationship, 'Fruit : Rubber' is unrelated, and 'Sun : Moon' are celestial bodies with no product-source relationship. Therefore, option B is the best analogous pair.

Choose the analogous pair: Sea : Shore

Correct answer: B

A
Train : Rails
B
Road : Footpath
Correct
C
Ocean : Bay
D
River : Delta
Explanation and memory cue

The analogy 'Sea : Shore' describes the relationship where the shore is the boundary or edge of the sea. Similarly, 'Road : Footpath' relates a road to the footpath that runs alongside its edge, showing a similar boundary or adjacent relationship. Option A ('Train : Rails') relates a vehicle to the tracks it runs on, which is a relationship of dependence but not boundary or adjacency like sea and shore. Therefore, the best analogous pair is 'Road : Footpath'.

Choose the analogous pair: Evaporation : Cloud

Correct answer: D

A
Mountain : Snow
B
Pressure : Atmosphere
C
Book : Pages
D
Tension : Breakdown
Correct
Explanation and memory cue

The analogy 'Evaporation : Cloud' represents a cause and effect relationship where evaporation (the process) leads to the formation of clouds (the result). Among the options, 'Tension : Breakdown' (option D) similarly represents a cause and effect relationship where tension leads to a breakdown. Option A ('Mountain : Snow') is more of an association or location-phenomenon relationship rather than a direct cause and effect. Therefore, option D is the best analogous pair to the original analogy.

Choose the analogous pair: Carnivore : Herbivore

Correct answer: D

A
Animal : Bird
B
Flesh : Plant

D
Horse : Lion
Correct
Explanation and memory cue

The analogy 'Carnivore : Herbivore' compares two types of animals based on their diet (meat-eating vs. plant-eating). Option D ('Horse : Lion') correctly parallels this by comparing two animals with different diets (herbivore vs. carnivore). Option B ('Flesh : Plant') compares food items, not animals, so it is not analogous in the same way.

Choose the word that is similar in meaning to Calf, Kid, and Pup:

Correct answer: B

A
Infant
B
Young
Correct
C
Larva
D
Animal
Explanation and memory cue

Calf, Kid, and Pup all refer to young animals at early stages of life, so the word 'Young' best captures their similarity. 'Larva' refers to an insect stage, which is unrelated, and 'Infant' typically refers to human babies, while 'Animal' is too broad.

Choose the analogous pair: Thrust : Spear

Correct answer: C

A
Scabbard : Sword
B
Mangle : Iron
C
Bow : Arrow
Correct
D
Fence : Epee
Explanation and memory cue

The analogy 'Thrust : Spear' relates an action to the object used to perform it. 'Bow : Arrow' is the correct analogous pair because a bow is used to shoot an arrow, similar to how a spear is used to thrust. Option D ('Fence : Epee') is incorrect because 'fence' is a verb (to fight with swords) and 'epee' is a type of sword, but the relationship is not the same as action to instrument.
