531. Choose analogous pair: Doctor : Hospital

• A. Plumber : Wrench
• B. Chef : Kitchen
• C. Water : Reservoir
• D. Farmer : Village

Explanation: A hospital is the usual workplace of a doctor, just as a kitchen is the usual workplace of a chef. A wrench is a tool used by a plumber, not the plumber's workplace.

532. Choose analogous pair: Sneer : Contempt

• A. Grimace : Pain
• B. Snarl : Restlessness
• C. Mourn : Frustration
• D. Joke : Happiness

Explanation: A sneer expresses contempt, while a grimace commonly expresses pain or discomfort. Snarl and restlessness are not a clear expression-and-emotion pairing, and a joke does not necessarily express happiness.

533. Choose analogous pair: Wick : Candle

• A. Lead : Pencil
• B. Thread : Wool
• C. Light : Darkness
• D. Quick : Rapid

Explanation: A wick is a component of a candle, just as lead is a component of a pencil. The other pairs show different relationships, such as opposites or synonyms.

534. Choose analogous pair: Toss : Hurl

• A. Throw : Grab
• B. Consider : Formulate
• C. Speak : Shout
• D. Bounce : Kick

Explanation: Toss and hurl are similar actions, with hurl usually suggesting greater force; speak and shout have the same relationship because shouting is a forceful form of speaking. The other choices do not form this synonym-plus-intensity pattern.

535. Choose analogous pair: Fury : Ire

• A. Amusement : Happiness
• B. Joke : Laugh
• C. Cry : Whisper
• D. Convulsion : Spasm

536. Choose analogous pair: Heart : Cardiology

• A. Brain : Psychology
• B. History : Histology
• C. Civics : Policy
• D. Fossils : Paleontology

Explanation: Cardiology is the study of the heart, just as paleontology is the study of fossils and ancient life. Psychology studies the mind and behaviour rather than specifically the brain.

• A. Cache : Hide
• B. Garrulous : Old
• C. Timid : Bold
• D. Obvious : Explain

538. Choose analogous pair: Magazine : Periodical

• A. Gun : Soldier
• B. Harvesting : Agriculture
• C. Pun : Joke
• D. Truck : Transport

• A. Host : Hospitable
• B. Artist : Imitative
• C. Idealist : Cynical
