Correct Answer: A. Painting : Artist

The correct answer is A. Painting : Artist.
The analogy “Cricket : Player” shows that a player is someone who participates in the sport of cricket. Similarly, an artist is someone who creates paintings. Both pairs establish a relationship where the second word is a person involved in the activity or field described by the first word.

Correct Answer: A. Little : Big

The correct answer is A. Little : Big.
This analogy compares opposites, where “Dark” is the opposite of “Light.” Similarly, “Little” is the opposite of “Big.”

Correct Answer: B. Doctor: Patient

The correct answer is B. Doctor: Patient.
This analogy represents a relationship where the teacher interacts with students in the same way that a doctor interacts with patients. Both pairs describe a professional role and the person they work with.

Correct Answer: A. Joints

A cardiologist specializes in the heart, so a chiropractor, who specializes in the musculoskeletal system, particularly the spine, would be most associated with:
A. Joints
Chiropractors focus on the diagnosis and treatment of musculoskeletal issues, which include joints, as well as the spine and related structures.

Correct Answer: E. None of these

The relationship between Alzheimer’s disease and dementia is that Alzheimer’s disease is a type of dementia. Similarly, food poisoning is a condition that can cause various symptoms.
The most suitable option for the analogy:
Food poisoning: Symptoms
Among the given options:
• Headache: Not a primary symptom of food poisoning.
• Bloating: Can be a symptom but is not the primary one.
• Bleeding: Not typically associated with food poisoning.
• Running nose: Not related to food poisoning.
Food poisoning typically causes symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and stomach cramps. Since none of the options directly reflect this, the closest answer would be E. None of the above.

Correct Answer: B. HLOX

To solve this analogy, let’s first analyze the relationship between the letters in the pairs:
BDGK: PTYF
Let’s look at the shift in the alphabet for each pair:
• B to P: B (2nd letter) to P (16th letter) is a shift of +14 positions.
• D to T: D (4th letter) to T (20th letter) is a shift of +16 positions.
• G to Y: G (7th letter) to Y (25th letter) is a shift of +18 positions.
• K to F: K (11th letter) to F (6th letter) is a shift of -5 positions.
So the shifts are: +14, +16, +18, -5.
Let’s apply the same pattern to the second pair:
TVYC
• T (20th letter) shifted by +14 positions: 20 + 14 = 34. Wrap around the alphabet (since 34 – 26 = 8): 8th letter is H.
• V (22nd letter) shifted by +16 positions: 22 + 16 = 38. Wrap around the alphabet (38 – 26 = 12): 12th letter is L.
• Y (25th letter) shifted by +18 positions: 25 + 18 = 43. Wrap around the alphabet (43 – 26 = 17): 17th letter is Q.
• C (3rd letter) shifted by -5 positions: 3 – 5 = -2. Wrap around the alphabet (26 – 2 = 24): 24th letter is X.
So, TVYC transformed by applying the shifts results in HLQX.
However, since the answer choices given are:
A. HLOW
B. HLOX
C. HLOY
D. FKLM
The closest match to our result (considering a possible typo or adjustment in pattern) is B. HLOX

Correct Answer: C. These are the names of religious books

The correct answer is C. These are the names of religious books.
Here’s a brief explanation:
• Tripitakas: Sacred texts of Theravada Buddhism.
• Talmud: Central text of Rabbinic Judaism.
• Agamas: Ancient Indian texts associated with various Hindu and Jain traditions.
• Kojiki: Ancient Japanese chronicle and religious text. All of these are significant religious texts in their respective traditions.

Correct Answer: B. They are all vegetables

Tomatoes, beans, cucumbers, and corn are all types of plants, but they have different classifications. Specifically:
• Tomato: Fruit (botanically, it’s a fruit but often used as a vegetable in culinary contexts).
• Beans: Legumes (often considered vegetables in culinary contexts).
• Cucumbers: Fruit (botanically, it’s a fruit but used as a vegetable).
• Corn: Grain (the part we consume is the kernel, but botanically, it’s a type of grain).
Given that all of them are commonly used as vegetables in cooking, the most suitable option is: B. They are all vegetables

Correct Answer: D. Liver

Meningitis is an infection of the brain, while cirrhosis is a disease of the liver. Therefore, the correct analogy is: D. Liver

Correct Answer: A. Venerable : Renown

“Redoubtable” means “worthy of respect or fear,” often inspiring awe, while “venerable” means “accorded a great deal of respect, especially because of age, wisdom, or character,” often associated with renown or respect. Both pairs share a relationship where one term describes a quality that evokes the other
