Test Level 1: Verbal Analogy

As 'part' is a portion or a segment of a 'whole', in the same way, 'arc' is a portion of the circumference of a 'circle'.

'The proof of the pudding is in the eating' is said to mean that you can only judge the quality of something after you have tried, used, or experienced it.

'To throw the baby with the bathwater' means to discard something valuable or important while disposing off something considered worthless, especially an outdated idea or form of behavior.

The analogy pertains to 'part of a category'. The stratosphere is a layer in the atmosphere. Atmosphere includes other layers like troposphere, mesosphere, etc. Thus, stratosphere (part) is a part of atmosphere (category). Similarly, jets (part) are a part of the category of air-crafts. Option C is correct.

(a) - Though nimbus is a type of rain bearing cloud, the order of these two is incorrect. Cloud is not a part of the category of nimbus.
(b) - Calibration is used to rectify any supposed errors of an instrument. Calibration itself is not a 'part' of the instrument.
(c) - Rain is not a category of winter. They are separate seasons.
(d) - Molehill means 'a small mound of earth thrown up by a mole burrowing near the surface.' Humus means 'the organic component of soil, formed by the decomposition of leaves'. Thus, no part-category relationship exists.

'Let sleeping dogs lie' is said when it's best to leave a situation as it is as disturbing it might cause trouble.

The analogy is that 'beginning' and 'ending' denote the start and end of something. 'Beginning' refers to the point in time or space at which something begins. 'Ending' refers to the final or last part of something. Similarly, the 'preface' to a book comes at the start, while an 'afterword' is a 'literary device that is often found at the end of a piece of literature'. Thus, option B is correct.
(a) - 'Symphony' and 'movement' do not denote a start or an end.
(c) - Both 'introduction' and 'foreword' represent the beginning.
(d) - While 'prologue' denotes beginning, 'intermission' does not denote ending.
(e) - 'Preamble' is the introduction to the 'constitution'. No word analogous with ending is present.

'Easy come, Easy go' is said when something, especially money, is easily got and then soon spent or lost.

The first is the main ingredient for making the second. 'Dough' is used to make bread. 'Words' are used in speech and they alone can make a speech.

The relation is one of a thing and its removal. The coming off of topsoil is called 'erosion'; the coming off of paint is called 'peeling.' So, option E is correct. 'Tanning' is coloring, not removal. 'Varnish' is outer coating or veneer. 'Baste' is to moisten meat with fat during roasting. 'Mashing' is a sort of crushing, not removal.

'Isobars' and 'isotherms' are lines on weather maps which represent patterns of pressure and 'temperature', respectively. 'Isotherm' connects points with equal 'temperature'; 'isobar' connects points with equal 'pressure.' Thus, option 1 is correct.
Volume, density, viscosity, and mass are units of measure which do not fit in the above analogy.
