English

The analogy is based on the relationship between a person and a characteristic or behavior associated with them. A 'Traitor' is characterized by 'Disloyalty', similarly, a 'Rebel' is characterized by 'Defiance'. The other options do not maintain this consistent relationship.

The analogy 'Vandalism : Property' relates an illegal act to its typical target. Similarly, 'Perjury : Testimony' relates an illegal act (perjury) to what it involves (testimony). The other options do not maintain this clear relationship between an illegal act and its direct object.

The pair 'Loath : Coercion' involves a feeling (loath = unwilling) and a forceful action (coercion = forcing). Similarly, 'Reluctant : Persuasion' pairs a feeling of unwillingness (reluctant) with a gentle influence (persuasion). Both pairs show a relationship between an emotional state and a method of influence or pressure.

The pair 'Goose : Gander' represents a female and male counterpart of the same species. Similarly, 'Duck : Drake' is a female and male pair of ducks, making it the correct analogous pair. Other options do not represent gender counterparts or analogous relationships.

The analogy is based on a medicine and the condition it treats. Aspirin is used to treat headaches, and similarly, Quinine is used to treat malaria. The other options do not represent a medicine-to-condition treatment relationship as clearly.

The analogy 'Cricket : Football' compares two sports. The best analogous pair among the options is 'Prose : Poetry' because both are literary forms, just as cricket and football are both sports. Other options do not represent pairs of similar categories or concepts. For example, 'Shoes : Gloves' are both wearable items but not analogous to the relationship between two sports. 'Hockey : Ball' is not a proper pair since hockey is a sport and ball is an object used in many sports. 'Solid : Liquid' are states of matter, which is a different category altogether. Therefore, option C is the correct analogous pair.

The analogy 'Kangaroo : Australia' relates an animal to its native or commonly associated region. Similarly, 'Penguin : Antarctica' pairs an animal with its natural habitat, making option C the correct analogous pair.

A biography is a written account of someone's life by another person, while an autobiography is written by the person themselves. Similarly, memoirs are personal accounts written by the individual, whereas history is a broader account often written by others. Thus, 'Memoirs : History' is the best analogous pair.

The analogy is between a noun and its descriptive adjective. 'Sound' can be described as 'Muffled', similarly 'Odour' can be described as 'Pungent'. Option D correctly matches this pattern, whereas option B pairs 'Colour' with 'Faded', which is also descriptive but less directly analogous to the original pair in terms of common usage and clarity.

The analogy compares an animal to the meat derived from it. 'Sheep : Mutton' shows the animal and its meat. Similarly, 'Deer : Venison' correctly pairs the animal with its meat. Other options either do not represent the meat of the animal or are incorrect pairings.
