The analogy 'Sip : Gulp' compares two similar actions differing in intensity or quantity. Similarly, 'Tent : Hut' compares two types of shelters, analogous in category but differing in structure or permanence. Option A ('Touch : Push') compares different actions but not in a similar intensity or manner relationship. Options B and D compare objects but not in a manner analogous to the original pair.

The analogy 'Blister : Skin' shows a condition (blister) occurring on a part of the body (skin). Similarly, 'Wound : Arm' represents a condition (wound) occurring on a part of the body (arm). Other options do not maintain this exact relationship.

The analogy 'Jupiter : Planet' shows a specific example (Jupiter) belonging to a general category (Planet). Similarly, 'Sparrow : Bird' is a specific example (Sparrow) belonging to the general category (Bird). Option D ('Everest : Peak') is also an example to category analogy, but 'Sparrow : Bird' is a more direct and commonly accepted analogy in this context.

The analogy is between a state and its capital city. Karnataka's capital is Bangalore, so the correct analogous pair is Orissa (now Odisha) and its capital Bhubaneshwar. Options A and B do not represent state-capital pairs, and option C is a district or city, not a capital.

The analogy 'Bird : Cage' represents a relationship where a bird is confined or kept within a cage. Similarly, 'Animals : Zoo' represents animals being confined or kept within a zoo. Both pairs show a containment or enclosure relationship. While 'Thief : Prison' also shows a containment relationship, it is more about punishment and legal confinement rather than a natural or typical place where the entity is kept. 'Crime : Punishment' is a cause-effect relationship, and 'Antique : Museum' is about display or preservation rather than containment. Therefore, the best analogous pair is 'Animals : Zoo'.

The pair 'Lively : Dull' shows antonyms (words with opposite meanings). Among the options, 'Employed : Jobless' is also a pair of antonyms, making it the correct analogous pair.
