• A. Ink : Pen
• B. Cock : Hen

384. Choose analogous pair: Dislike : Repulsion

• A. Dream : Sleep
• B. Steal : Crime
• C. Reputation : Behaviour

385. Choose analogous pair: Tree : Branches

• A. River : Tributaries
• B. Continent : Island
• C. Stream : Delta

• A. Herd : Plant
• B. Tea : Leaves
• C. Melon : Vine
• D. Coffee : Plantation

387. Choose analogous pair: Thrust : Spear

• A. Scabberd : Sword
• B. Mangle : Iron
• C. Bow : Arrow
• D. Fence : Epee

Explanation: A thrust is an action performed with a spear, while fencing is an action performed with an epee. Thus both pairs connect an action with the weapon used for it.

• A. North : Polar
• B. North : Torpic

• A. Parsis : Temple
• B. Jains : Fire Temple
