The analogy 'Cloth : Texture' relates a material to a characteristic feature of that material. Similarly, 'Wood : Grains' relates wood to its characteristic grain pattern, making option C the correct analogous pair.

A sonnet is a type of poem, just as a chapter is a part of a book. This makes the pair 'Chapter : Book' analogous to 'Sonnet : Poem'. Option B ('Murder : Crime') is a category relationship but less precise as an analogy here.

Infrared radiation is associated with heat, while ultraviolet radiation can cause skin blisters due to sunburn. Therefore, the analogy pairs 'Infra' with 'Heat' and 'Ultraviolet' with 'Blisters'.

The analogy 'Knife : Chopper' relates two similar items within the same category—both are types of cutting tools. The best analogous pair among the options is 'Quilt : Blanket,' where a quilt is a specific type of blanket, maintaining the relationship of a specific form or kind within a general category. Option C ('Scissors : Cloth') pairs a tool with the object it acts upon, which is a different relationship type. Therefore, option D is the most accurate analogy.

The analogy is between a quantity and its unit of measurement. 'Weight : Kilogram' pairs a physical quantity with its unit. Similarly, 'Distance : Kilometer' pairs a physical quantity with its unit, making option B the correct analogous pair.

A preface is an introductory section of a book, serving as an opening to the main content. Similarly, an overture is an instrumental introduction to an opera, ballet, or oratorio, setting the tone and themes before the main performance begins. While overtures can also be concert pieces, their primary association is with operas. Therefore, the best analogy completion is 'Opera' because overtures are specifically linked as introductions to operas, just as a preface is linked to a book. 'Symphony' is less precise since overtures originated as introductions to operas and ballets, and symphonies are distinct orchestral works rather than introductory pieces.

The pair 'Elevated : Exalted' shows a relationship where the second word is a stronger or more intense synonym of the first. Similarly, 'Dirty : Filthy' follows this pattern, with 'Filthy' being a stronger form of 'Dirty'. The other options do not show this clear synonymous intensity relationship.

The analogy compares an orange to its peel, which is the outer covering. Similarly, a tooth is surrounded by gums, which act as its outer support, making 'Gums' the correct analogous pair.

The analogy Explosion : Destruction shows a cause and effect or result relationship, where an explosion causes destruction. Similarly, Engagement : Marriage shows a sequential relationship where engagement typically leads to marriage. Other options do not reflect this cause-effect or sequential relationship.

The analogy compares a product to the place where it is made or processed. A textile is produced in a mill, just as a brick is produced in a kiln. Therefore, 'Brick : Kiln' is the correct analogous pair.
