Analogies (Related Pair of Words)

medium
English

Detect the analogy: Chucker : Mallet :: Bunder : ?

Correct answer: D

A
Sports
B
Soils
C
Snooker
D
Polo
Correct
Explanation and memory cue

The term "chucker" in sports primarily refers to a cricket bowler who is accused of throwing the ball illegally or a baseball pitcher who throws fastballs. The term "chukker" (or "chukka") refers to a period of play in polo, lasting about 7 minutes, during which players use mallets. "Bunder" is a term related to polo, referring to a defensive position or maneuver, similar to "bunker." Therefore, the analogy is: Chucker (cricket bowler) : Mallet (used in polo) :: Bunder (polo defensive position) : Polo (the sport). Hence, the correct answer is D (Polo).

A
Epic : Novel : Book

English

Detect the analogy: Cub : Calf :: Kitten : ?

Correct answer: B

A
Progeny
B
Cow
Correct
C
Attractive
D
Harmless
Explanation and memory cue

The analogy is based on the relationship between a young animal and its adult form. A 'Cub' is the young form of a lion or other large wild animals, and a 'Calf' is the young form of a cow. Similarly, a 'Kitten' is the young form of a cat. Therefore, the correct analogy is 'Cub : Calf :: Kitten : Cow' because 'Calf' is the young form of 'Cow', just as 'Kitten' is the young form of 'Cat'. Among the options, 'Cow' (option B) correctly completes the analogy as the adult form corresponding to 'Kitten'. 'Progeny' is a general term for offspring and does not fit the specific young-to-adult animal relationship in the analogy.

English

Detect the analogy: Vote : Poll :: Ballet : ?

Correct answer: D

A
Election
B
Nomination
C
Selection
D
Participation
Correct
Explanation and memory cue

The analogy is based on the relationship between an action and the event or context in which it occurs. 'Vote' is an action that takes place during a 'Poll' (the event or process). Similarly, 'Ballet' is a form of dance, so the correct analogy would relate 'Ballet' to 'Participation' (engaging in the activity). Among the options, 'Participation' best fits as it implies involvement in ballet, just as voting is participation in a poll. The original answer 'Election' is unrelated to ballet and does not fit the analogy structure.

Analogies (Related Pair of Words)

medium
English

Identify the correct analogy: Hunt : Pleasure : Panic :: ?

Correct answer: C

A
Death : Disease : Germs
B
Game : Match : Win
C
Theft : Gain : Loss
Correct
D
Rain : Cloud : Flood
Explanation and memory cue

The analogy "Hunt : Pleasure : Panic" is ambiguous, but the best matching option is "Theft : Gain : Loss" because it reflects a cause-effect or related pair relationship: theft leads to gain for the thief and loss for the victim, similar to how a hunt can lead to pleasure (success) but also panic (danger). The previously given correct answer "A" (Death : Disease : Germs) does not fit well because the order is reversed (germs cause disease, which can cause death), and the analogy structure is unclear. Option D (Rain : Cloud : Flood) also shows a cause-effect relationship but does not align well with the emotional or experiential aspect of the original analogy. Option B (Game : Match : Win) is more about progression rather than cause-effect or emotional response. Therefore, option C is the best fit.

Correct
B
Oranges : Nagpur : Juice
C
Parliament : Delhi : Ministers
D

Explanation and memory cue
