Q. METAPHOR : SYMBOL
  • a)
    pentameter : poem
  • b)
    rhythm : melody
  • c)
    nuance : song
  • d)
    analogy : comparison
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Mehul Sharma answered
Understanding the Relationship: METAPHOR : SYMBOL
The words "metaphor" and "symbol" are closely related in the context of literary devices. A metaphor is a figure of speech that implies a comparison between two unlike things, while a symbol is something that represents or stands for something else, often conveying deeper meanings. Both serve to convey complex ideas in literature.
Analyzing the Options
Now, let's evaluate the lettered pairs to determine which one shares a similar relationship:
a) pentameter : poem
- Pentameter is a specific type of rhythm in poetry, but it is more of a structural element than a figurative device like metaphor or symbol.
b) rhythm : melody
- Rhythm refers to the pattern of sounds in music, while melody is a sequence of notes. They are related but do not share the same figurative relationship as metaphor and symbol.
c) nuance : song
- Nuance refers to subtle differences in meaning or expression, and a song is a complete piece of music. This pair does not match the relationship of figurative devices.
d) analogy : comparison
- An analogy is a comparison between two different things that highlights some form of similarity. This relationship mirrors that of metaphor and symbol, as both analogy and metaphor involve comparisons to convey deeper meanings.
Conclusion
Thus, the correct answer is option D: analogy : comparison. This pair of words maintains the same relationship as the original pair, where both involve figurative language and comparative understanding.

Directions: In each of the following questions, the first two words have definite relationship. Choose one word out of the given four alternatives which will show the same relationship with the third word as between the first two.
Q. Careful is to cautious as boastful is to
  • a)
    Arrogant
  • b)
    Humble
  • c)
    Joyful
  • d)
    Suspicious
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Saptarshi Das answered
Understanding the Relationship
The words "careful" and "cautious" have a synonym relationship. Both words describe someone who is attentive and avoids risks or mistakes.
Analyzing the Second Pair
Now, we need to analyze the word "boastful."
- "Boastful" refers to someone who talks too much about their achievements or abilities, often in a way that shows excessive pride.
Next, we must find a word that similarly relates to "boastful."
Identifying the Options
Let's evaluate the options provided:
- a) Arrogant: This word describes someone who has an exaggerated sense of their own importance or abilities, akin to being boastful.
- b) Humble: Humble means having a modest opinion of one's own importance, which is the opposite of boastful.
- c) Joyful: Joyful pertains to a feeling of great happiness and does not relate to boastfulness.
- d) Suspicious: Suspicious means having or showing a cautious distrust of someone or something, which does not connect to boastfulness.
Conclusion
The only word that maintains a similar relationship to "boastful" as "cautious" does to "careful" is "arrogant." Both "boastful" and "arrogant" describe an overestimation of oneself, making option (a) the correct answer.
This demonstrates the synonym relationship effectively, just like the first pair.

Directions: Each of the following questions has a group. Find out which one of the given alternatives will be another member of the group or of that class.
Q. Pathology, Cardiology, Radiology, Ophthalmology
  • a)
    Biology
  • b)
    Haematology
  • c)
    Zoology
  • d)
    Geology
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Rajat Chatterjee answered
Understanding the Group
The question presents a list of medical specialties: Pathology, Cardiology, Radiology, and Ophthalmology. Each of these fields focuses on a specific area of health and medicine.
Characteristics of the Group
- Pathology: The study of diseases and the changes they cause in the body.
- Cardiology: The study and treatment of heart-related conditions.
- Radiology: The use of imaging techniques to diagnose and treat diseases.
- Ophthalmology: The branch of medicine concerned with the eyes and vision.
Identifying the Common Link
All of the listed specialties are branches of medicine. They focus on different aspects of human health and are practiced by medical professionals who have specialized training.
Evaluating the Options
Now, let's analyze the provided options:
- a) Biology: A broader science that encompasses the study of living organisms but is not specifically a medical specialty.
- b) Haematology: The study of blood and blood disorders, which is indeed a medical specialty similar to those listed in the question.
- c) Zoology: The scientific study of animals, unrelated to human health.
- d) Geology: The study of the Earth, its materials, and processes, which is not related to medicine.
Conclusion: Why Option B is Correct
- Among the options, Haematology (option b) is the only one that fits as it is a recognized medical specialty, just like Pathology, Cardiology, Radiology, and Ophthalmology. This is why option B is the correct answer.

Directions: In each of the following questions, the first two words have definite relationship. Choose one word out of the given four alternatives which will show the same relationship with the third word as between the first two.
Q. Yard is to inch as quart is to
  • a)
    Gallon
  • b)
    Ounce
  • c)
    Milk
  • d)
    Liquid
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Saptarshi Das answered
Understanding the Relationship
In the given question, we need to analyze the relationship between the words "Yard" and "Inch."
Measurement Units
- A yard is a larger unit of measurement, while an inch is a smaller unit.
- Specifically, there are 36 inches in a yard.
Applying the Same Logic
Now, let's apply this relationship to the second pair with "Quart."
- A quart is a unit of volume measurement.
- The goal is to find a smaller unit of volume that relates to a quart in the same way inches relate to a yard.
Evaluating the Options
Let’s look at the options provided:
1. Gallon: This is a larger unit of measurement than a quart, so it does not fit the relationship.
2. Ounce: This is a smaller unit of volume measurement. There are 32 ounces in a quart, making this a suitable match.
3. Milk: This is a substance, not a unit of measurement.
4. Liquid: This is a category of matter and does not represent a unit of measurement.
Correct Answer
Given this analysis, the correct answer is Ounce, as it maintains the same relationship with quart as inch does with yard.
- Yard relates to Inch as Quart relates to Ounce.
This shows that the relationship is based on measuring units, where the first term is larger than the second.

Directions: Each of the following questions has a group. Find out which one of the given alternatives will be another member of the group or of that class.

  • a)
    Car
  • b)
    Scooter

Directions: Each of the following questions consists of two words that have a certain relationship with each other, followed by four lettered pairs of words. Select the lettered pair which has the same relationship as the original pair of words.
Q. SOUND : CACOPHONY
  • a)
    taste : style
  • b)
    touch : massage
  • c)
    smell : stench
  • d)
    sight : panorama
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Kunal Ghosh answered
Relationship between SOUND : CACOPHONY

The relationship between the words "sound" and "cacophony" is that they are antonyms, which means they have opposite meanings. "Sound" refers to pleasant, harmonious noises or tones, while "cacophony" refers to harsh, discordant sounds.

Identifying the similar relationship

To find the lettered pair that has the same relationship as "sound : cacophony," we need to look for another pair of words where one word represents something pleasant or positive, and the other word represents something unpleasant or negative. Let's analyze each option:

a) taste : style - The relationship between taste and style is not one of opposites. Taste refers to the sense of flavor, while style is a manner of doing or presenting something. These words do not have opposite meanings, so option A is incorrect.

b) touch : massage - The relationship between touch and massage is not one of opposites either. Touch refers to the sense of tactile perception, while massage is a specific type of touch therapy. These words do not have opposite meanings, so option B is incorrect.

c) smell : stench - The relationship between smell and stench is similar to the relationship between sound and cacophony. Smell refers to the sense of olfaction, while stench refers to a strong, unpleasant odor. These words have opposite meanings, making option C the correct answer.

d) sight : panorama - The relationship between sight and panorama is not one of opposites. Sight refers to the sense of vision, while panorama refers to a wide, unobstructed view. These words do not have opposite meanings, so option D is incorrect.

Conclusion

Out of the given options, option C (smell : stench) has the same relationship as the original pair of words "sound : cacophony" because both pairs consist of words that are antonyms, representing something pleasant and something unpleasant, respectively.

Directions: In each of the following questions, the first two words have definite relationship. Choose one word out of the given four alternatives which will show the same relationship with the third word as between the first two.
Q. Guide is to direct as reduce is to
  • a)
    Decrease
  • b)
    Maintain
  • c)
    Increase
  • d)
    Preserve
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Saptarshi Das answered
Understanding the Relationship
The relationship between the words "Guide" and "Direct" is that a guide provides direction or leads someone in a particular way. The action of guiding inherently involves directing someone towards a certain path or choice.
Analyzing the Second Pair
Now, we need to find a word that relates to "Reduce" in the same way that "Direct" relates to "Guide."
Options Breakdown
- Decrease: This means to make something smaller or less in amount, which is directly aligned with the action of reducing.
- Maintain: This implies keeping something the same, which does not correspond to reducing.
- Increase: This means to make something larger or more, which is the opposite of reducing.
- Preserve: This means to keep something in its original state, which also does not align with reducing.
Conclusion
Since "Reduce" means to decrease the amount or size of something, the word "Decrease" directly reflects the action of reducing. Therefore, the correct answer is Option A: Decrease, as it maintains the same relationship as seen between "Guide" and "Direct."

Directions: Each of the following questions consists of two words that have a certain relationship with each other, followed by four lettered pairs of words. Select the lettered pair which has the same relationship as the original pair of words.
Q. DIRGE : FUNERAL
  • a)
    chain : letter
  • b)
    bell : church
  • c)
    telephone : call
  • d)
    jingle : commercial
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Mehul Sharma answered
Understanding the Relationship
The words "DIRGE" and "FUNERAL" are connected through their contextual significance. A dirge is a mournful song or poem typically associated with mourning or lamenting, and it is often performed at funerals. Thus, the relationship is that a dirge is an expression associated with the event of a funeral.
Analyzing the Options
Now, let's examine the options to find a pair that shares a similar relationship:
- a) chain : letter
A chain does not have a direct relationship with a letter, making this option unrelated.
- b) bell : church
A bell is often found in a church, but it doesn't serve as an expression or representation of the church itself. Thus, this option does not align with the original pair.
- c) telephone : call
A telephone is a device used to make calls. While this pair shows a functional relationship, it lacks the emotional or ceremonial connection that "dirge" has with "funeral."
- d) jingle : commercial
A jingle is a catchy tune or phrase specifically designed to promote a commercial. This pair mirrors the original relationship where a jingle, similar to a dirge, is a specific expression tied to a particular event (in this case, a commercial).
Conclusion
The correct answer is option 'D', as both pairs showcase a specific expression (dirge/jingle) that is inherently linked to an event (funeral/commercial). This connection emphasizes the ceremonial or promotional aspect of each term.

Three of the following four words are alike in a certain way and one is different. Pick the odd one out.
  • a)
    Hendecagon
  • b)
    Hexagon
  • c)
    Heptagon
  • d)
    Pentagon
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Shanaya Chakraborty answered
Understanding the Shapes
In this question, we need to identify which of the four words represents a geometric shape that is different from the others. Let’s break down each option:
1. Hendecagon
- A hendecagon is an 11-sided polygon.
2. Hexagon
- A hexagon is a 6-sided polygon.
3. Heptagon
- A heptagon is a 7-sided polygon.
4. Pentagon
- A pentagon is a 5-sided polygon.
Identifying the Odd One Out
Now, let’s analyze the similarities and differences:
- Hendecagon, Heptagon, and Pentagon all have more than 5 sides and are classified as polygons with a specific number of sides.
- Hexagon, on the other hand, is a common shape with 6 sides.
Conclusion
The odd one out is option B (Hexagon) because:
- It is the only shape that has a different number of sides compared to the others in the list.
- The pentagon has 5 sides, the heptagon has 7 sides, and the hendecagon has 11 sides, all of which indicate that they are higher polygon types compared to the hexagon.
Thus, the answer is Hexagon.

Directions: In each of the following questions, the first two words have definite relationship. Choose one word out of the given four alternatives which will show the same relationship with the third word as between the first two.
Q. Exercise is to gym as eating is to
  • a)
    Food
  • b)
    Dieting
  • c)
    Fitness
  • d)
    Restaurant
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Snehal Kaur answered
A gym is a place where people exercise. A restaurant is a place where people eat. Food (choice a) is not the answer because it is something people eat, not a place or location where they eat. The answer is not choice b or c because neither represents a place where people eat.

Directions: In each of the following questions, the first two words have definite relationship. Choose one word out of the given four alternatives which will show the same relationship with the third word as between the first two.
Q. Pride is to lion as shoal is to
  • a)
    Teacher
  • b)
    Student
  • c)
    Self-respect
  • d)
    Fish
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Devika Nair answered
A group of lions is called a pride. A group of fish swim in a shoal. Teacher (choice a) and student (choice b) refer to another meaning of the word school. The answer is not (choice c) because self-respect has no obvious relationship to this particular meaning of school.
