English

Hair, grass, and fur are all natural, fibrous materials often associated with living organisms. Feather is similar as it is a natural covering of birds, making it the closest related word among the options.

The analogy 'Berries : Bush' relates a fruit to the specific type of plant it grows on. Berries grow on bushes, which are low, woody plants. Similarly, melons grow on vines, which are trailing or climbing plants. Coffee grows on bushes or small trees, but the term 'plantation' refers to the place where coffee is cultivated, not the plant itself. Therefore, the best analogous pair is 'Melon : Vine' because it matches fruit to the type of plant it grows on, just as berries grow on bushes.

The words 'Edge', 'Corner', and 'Tip' all refer to points or boundaries of objects. Among the options, 'Brink' similarly means the edge or margin of something, making it the correct choice.

Hamlet, Macbeth, and Faustus are all famous characters from different dramas, with Hamlet and Macbeth being Shakespearean tragedies and Faustus from Marlowe's play. This makes option C the best analogy.

A pulpit, pews, and steeple are all parts associated with a church building, making option B the correct analogy connection.

Spinach, fenugreek, and celery are all examples of leafy vegetables commonly used in cooking. This makes option D the correct analogy.

Magenta, Fawn, and Turquoise are all names of colors, making option D the correct analogy. The other options incorrectly categorize them as creatures, birds, or stones, which is factually incorrect.

The pair 'Intelligentsia : Elitist' relates a group of intellectuals (intelligentsia) to a characteristic or social class they are often associated with (elitist). The intelligentsia is a social stratum of educated intellectuals who often hold elite status due to their knowledge and influence. However, 'elitist' refers to the belief or attitude that certain people deserve special privileges due to perceived superiority. Among the options, 'Rabble : Plebeian' (Option C) is the most analogous pair because 'rabble' refers to a disorderly crowd or lower class, and 'plebeian' is a term for common people or lower social class. This pair similarly relates a group to a social class or characteristic. Option B ('Gentry : Public') incorrectly pairs a specific social class (gentry) with the broader public, which is not analogous to the intellectuals-to-elitist relationship. Options A and D do not show analogous relationships. Therefore, the correct analogous pair is C.

The analogy 'Root : Stem : Branch' refers to parts of a tree. The word that relates similarly to these parts is 'Tree' since root, stem, and branch are components of a tree. 'Leaf' is a part of a tree but does not fit the analogy as well as 'Tree' does.

Rinderpest and Anthrax are diseases caused by specific pathogens (viruses and bacteria respectively), and Diarrhoea is a condition caused by various pathogens including bacteria, viruses, and parasites. Therefore, the best analogy is that all are related to pathogens rather than all being caused by bacteria specifically.
