English

The analogy compares a verb to an adjective that describes the feeling or state resulting from the action. 'Apologize' is an action done when one is 'contrite' (feeling remorse). Similarly, 'compliment' is an action done when one is 'impressed' (feeling admiration). Hence, option D correctly matches the analogy.

The analogy 'FISH : SCHOOL' relates an individual to its collective group. Similarly, 'COCKS : PRIDE' relates individual male peacocks (cocks) to their group called a pride. The other options do not show a similar collective relationship.

The analogy compares a specific type of window covering to a general term for such coverings. A curtain is a type of drapery, just as a cockroach is a type of insect. The other options do not represent this specific-to-general relationship.

The analogy FISH : TROUT shows a general category to a specific example relationship. Similarly, MAMMAL : COW is a general category to a specific example, making option D the correct analogy.

The analogy compares 'cohabit' and 'reside', where 'cohabit' means to live together and 'reside' means to live in a place. Similarly, 'conspire' means to plan secretly, and 'plot' means to make a secret plan, making option A the correct analogy.

The phrase requires the superlative form to indicate the extreme degree of badness. 'The worst' is the correct superlative form, making option B correct. Other options are either comparative, grammatically incorrect, or do not fit the sentence structure.

The word 'integral' means essential or necessary to make a whole complete, which fits the sentence context indicating the song is essential to the story. The other options do not convey this meaning appropriately.

The analogy compares 'obsequious' and 'fawn', where 'obsequious' means showing excessive willingness to serve or please, and 'fawn' means to exhibit such behavior. Similarly, 'compliant' means inclined to agree or yield, and 'yield' means to give way or submit, making option C the correct analogy.

The analogy compares a characteristic to what it typically involves or results in. 'Extravagance' involves 'expenditure', just as 'loquaciousness' involves 'talk'. The other options do not show this direct characteristic-to-result relationship.

The analogy compares a material or medium to the artist who works on it. A canvas is the material used by a painter to create art. Similarly, marble is the material used by a sculptor to create sculptures. Therefore, the correct analogy is 'marble : sculptor'. The option 'chisel : wood' pairs a tool with a material, which is a different relationship and not parallel to the original analogy.

The analogy compares an object to its associated characteristic or quality. A crown is associated with royalty, just as a throne is associated with being regal. Option D (Crucifix : Religion) is related but less direct, as a crucifix symbolizes religion but is not an attribute like royal or regal.

The phrase 'I assume that everyone agrees with me' is grammatically correct and natural. Option B correctly uses 'that everyone agrees' as a noun clause complementing 'assume.' Other options are ungrammatical or awkward.

The sentence contrasts the quantity of friends with the quality. 'Few' (option B) correctly implies that not many of his friends are good ones, which fits the negative meaning intended. 'A few' (A) would imply some good friends, 'the few' (C) is less common and less appropriate here, and 'the some' (D) is grammatically incorrect.

The correct conjunction to express contrast in this sentence is 'Although'. It introduces a subordinate clause that contrasts with the main clause, making 'Although she is clever, she often makes mistakes.' grammatically and contextually correct.

The correct form is 'hurrying' because it is the present participle used as an adjective to describe 'the man' who is currently moving down the road. The other options do not fit grammatically in this context.

The verb 'possess' correctly fits the sentence as it means to have or own something, which aligns with the idea of having latent power. The other options do not fit grammatically or semantically: 'exhibit' would require an object and changes the meaning, 'impose' is incorrect in this context, and 'knowledge' is a noun, not a verb.

The analogy 'GILL : FIN' compares two related parts of a fish's anatomy. Similarly, 'Cockroach : Antenna' relates an insect to one of its body parts, making option A the correct analogy. Other options do not show a part-to-whole or closely related relationship.

The correct preposition to use with 'hand' in this context is 'into,' as in 'hand in your assignment,' meaning to submit it. The other options do not fit the phrase correctly.

The phrase 'In accordance with your instruction' correctly means 'following or complying with your instruction,' which fits the sentence context about closing a bank account as per instructions. Other options do not convey this meaning appropriately.

The analogy compares a noun to its adjective form describing a characteristic (coward : craven). Option D (judge : impartial) follows this pattern, where 'impartial' is an adjective describing a judge. Option B (dupe : gullible) is incorrect because a 'dupe' is a person who is deceived, while 'gullible' describes a characteristic that could apply to a dupe but is not a direct adjective form of the noun.

The analogy compares the manner of doing something to the feeling or state associated with it. 'Perfunctorily' means doing something with little interest or care, which contrasts with 'inspiration' (a strong positive feeling). Among the options, 'ardently' (with passion) relates directly to 'passion', making option B the correct analogy.

The phrase 'There is something wonderful about him' is a common English expression meaning that he has a wonderful quality. The preposition 'about' correctly connects 'something wonderful' to 'him' in this context.

The correct word to complete the sentence is 'delighted' because it is the past participle used as an adjective to express feeling pleased or happy to meet someone. The other options do not fit grammatically in this context.

The word 'eloquent' means fluent or persuasive in speaking or writing, which fits the context of a speech persuading people. 'Expressive' and 'articulate' are related but less precise in conveying persuasion, and 'calm' does not imply persuasion.

The analogy RENOUNCE : PLEDGE shows a relationship where 'renounce' means to formally reject or give up a 'pledge'. Similarly, 'desecrate' means to disrespect or violate a 'shrine'. Both pairs show an action affecting a related noun. The other options do not have this clear action-object relationship.
