English

The analogy compares a characteristic or category relationship. 'Sweet' is a characteristic of 'Chocolate,' while a 'Book' is found in a 'Library.' Thus, the correct analogy is 'Sweet is to Chocolate as Book is to Library.'

The analogy 'Revolver : Holster' shows a relationship where the holster is a container or holder for the revolver. Similarly, a 'Book : Bag' pair shows a container (bag) holding the book. The other options do not represent a container-to-contained relationship.

The pair 'Energy : Dissipate' shows a relationship where energy is used up or wasted, similar to how money can be squandered or wasted. Thus, 'Money : Squander' is the analogous pair. Other options do not show a similar relationship of consumption or waste.

An agenda is a plan or programme for a meeting, so 'Programme : Function' is an analogous pair where a programme is a plan or schedule for a function. The other options do not show a similar relationship between a plan and its event.

The pair 'Embarrass : Humiliate' shows a relationship where the second word is a synonym or a stronger form of the first. 'Enquire : Ask' similarly shows a synonym relationship, making it the best analogous pair. Option D ('Annoy : Exasperate') is related but the intensity difference is less direct and less commonly paired as synonyms.

The pair 'Paper : Ream' shows a relationship where a 'ream' is a standard quantity or packaging unit of paper. Similarly, 'Eggs : Dozen' represents eggs grouped in a standard quantity of twelve. Thus, option A is the correct analogous pair.

A numismatist studies or collects coins, and similarly, a philatelist studies or collects stamps. Both pairs represent a person and the objects they specialize in, making option A the correct analogous pair.

The pair 'Crown : Royal' relates an object to its associated adjective describing royalty. Similarly, 'Throne : Regal' pairs an object (throne) with its related adjective (regal), making it the correct analogous pair. Option D relates an object to a concept, which is a different relationship.

The analogy 'Shoes : Cobbler' relates an object to the person who makes or repairs it. Similarly, 'Spectacles : Optician' relates glasses to the professional who makes or fits them, making option A the correct analogous pair.

A 'Range' is a collection of 'Mountains', just as a 'Line' is made up of 'Points'. This analogy shows a whole-to-part relationship, which fits option A best.
