They are made by mixing other colours.

Analogies (Related Pair of Words)

English

Horse : Pony : Mare :: Sheep : Lamb : ?

Correct answer: D

A
Sheep : Lamb : Goat
B
Lion : Cub : Den
C
Man : Child : Woman
D
Cat : Kitten : Puppy
Correct
Explanation and memory cue

The analogy compares a horse to a pony (an adult horse to a smaller or younger horse) and mare (a female horse). The pattern is adult animal : smaller/younger form : female of the species. Among the options, only option D (Cat : Kitten : Puppy) partially fits the pattern, but puppy is not a female cat, so it is not a perfect match. However, option A (Sheep : Lamb : Goat) is inconsistent because goat is a different animal, not a female sheep or a young sheep. The best analogy for Mare (female horse) would be a female form of the animal or a young form. Since none of the options perfectly match the pattern, the closest is option D, where kitten is the young cat, though puppy is unrelated. The original answer A is incorrect because goat is unrelated to sheep and lamb. Therefore, the correct answer is D.

Hair : Brush :: Wig : ?

Correct answer: C

A
Iron : Hammer : Axe
B
Bread : Butter : Milk
C
Cement : Brick : Building
Correct

Explanation and memory cue

The analogy compares the relationship between hair and brush to that between wig and another set of items. A brush is a tool used to manage or style hair, and similarly, cement and bricks are materials used together to create a building, which is the final product. The wig is related to hair as a styled or constructed form, and the analogy extends to the process of building something from raw materials (cement and bricks) to a finished product (building). Thus, option C (Cement : Brick : Building) best fits the analogy.

The best matching analogous progression in the options is 'Green : Blue : Yellow' (Option B), which are colors that are related and adjacent on the color wheel, similar to how Pink, Red, and White relate in terms of color progression and relationship. The original answer (C) does not reflect a clear or logical color relationship pattern. Therefore, Option B is the correct answer based on color theory and analogous color relationships.

A

English

Detect analogy: Gram : Grain :: Pound : ?

Correct answer: D

A
Currency
B
Commodities
C
Cereals
D
Weight
Correct
Explanation and memory cue

The analogy is between 'Gram' and 'Grain', both of which are units of weight measurement. A grain is a small unit of weight historically used in the avoirdupois and troy weight systems, and a gram is a metric unit of mass. Similarly, 'Pound' is also a unit of weight. Therefore, the correct analogy completion is 'Weight', as it represents the category or concept that 'Gram', 'Grain', and 'Pound' all measure. The original answer 'C' (Cereals) is incorrect because 'Grain' in this context refers to a unit of weight, not cereal grains.

Detect analogy: Species : Genera :: Family : ?

Correct answer: D

A
These are biological terms.
B
These give information about living things for classification.
C
These are traits of animal kingdom.
D
These are groups of animals.
Correct
Explanation and memory cue

In biological classification, species are grouped into genera (plural of genus), and genera are further grouped into families. The analogy Species : Genera :: Family : ? is asking for the next hierarchical level after Family, which is Order. However, since the options do not provide taxonomic ranks but descriptive statements, the best fitting answer is that these terms represent groups of animals (or organisms). Species, genera, and family are hierarchical groups used in biological taxonomy to classify living organisms. Therefore, the option 'These are groups of animals.' best fits the analogy contextually.
