341. Choose analogous pair: Banyan tree : Proproots

  • A. Potato : Tuber
  • B. Climbers : Tendrils
  • C. Ginger : Stem
  • D. Spinach : Root

Explanation: A banyan tree develops prop roots, while climbing plants commonly use tendrils for support. A tuber is a modified part of a potato, but it is not the same kind of characteristic structure.

Correct answer: Climbers : Tendrils

342. Choose analogous pair: Bridge : Cards

  • A. Dam : River
  • B. Gamble : Money
  • C. Image : Mirror
  • D. Fencing : Sword

Explanation: Bridge is a card game played with cards, while fencing is a sport practised with a sword. The other pairs show places, materials, or objects without this game-and-equipment relationship.

Correct answer: Fencing : Sword

343. Choose analogous pair: Yen : Currency

  • A. Brass : Metal
  • B. Flower : Fragrance
  • C. Paper : Book
  • D. Karnataka : State

Explanation: The yen is an example of a currency, and Karnataka is an example of a state. Brass is a type of metal, but the order and relationship do not match as precisely.

Correct answer: Karnataka : State

344. Choose analogous pair: Sheep : Mutton

  • A. Duck : Roast
  • B. Hen : Poultry
  • C. Deer : Venison
  • D. Lamb : Veal

Explanation: Mutton is the meat obtained from sheep, while venison is meat obtained from deer. Roast is a method or dish of preparation, not the specific meat of a duck.

Correct answer: Deer : Venison

345. Choose analogous pair: Eagle : Eyire

  • A. Sheep : Pen
  • B. Fox : Sty
  • C. Lion : Hole
  • D. Sheep : Coop

Explanation: An eyrie, misspelled here as “Eyire,” is the nest or dwelling of an eagle. A sheep is kept in a pen, whereas a sty belongs to pigs and a coop to poultry.

Correct answer: Sheep : Pen

346. Choose analogous pair: Infection : Illness

  • A. Satisfaction : Appetite
  • B. Applause : Audience
  • C. Antidote : Disease
  • D. Rehearsal : Performance

Explanation: An infection can lead to illness, just as rehearsal prepares for and leads to a performance. An antidote counteracts a disease, so that pair expresses treatment rather than cause or preparation.

Correct answer: Rehearsal : Performance

347. Choose analogous pair: State : Exile

  • A. Church : Excommunicate
  • B. Constitution : Amendment
  • C. Judge : Convict
  • D. Police : Arrest

Explanation: A state may exile a person, while a church may excommunicate a person, both describing official exclusion. Amendment changes a constitution, and arrest or conviction does not match the specific exclusion relationship as closely.

Correct answer: Church : Excommunicate

348. Choose analogous pair: Ass : Bray

  • A. Sheep : Bleat
  • B. Fox : Snout
  • C. Hen : Mew
  • D. Flies : Squeak

Explanation: To bray is the characteristic sound of an ass, while to bleat is the characteristic sound of a sheep. A hen clucks rather than mews, and flies do not squeak.

Correct answer: Sheep : Bleat

349. Choose analogous pair: Flag : Nation

  • A. Emblem : Prosperity
  • B. Insignia : Rank
  • C. Wealth : Prestige
  • D. Honor : Status

Explanation: A flag represents or identifies a nation, just as an insignia represents or identifies a person's rank. Wealth and honour may indicate status, but they are not identifying symbols in the same way.

Correct answer: Insignia : Rank

350. Choose analogous pair: Donkey : Trot

  • A. Monkey : Waddle
  • B. Cat : Leap
  • C. Eagle : Stride
  • D. Mouse : Scamper

Explanation: A donkey moves at a trot, while a mouse moves by scampering. Waddling is associated with animals such as ducks, and stride is not the characteristic movement of an eagle.

Correct answer: Mouse : Scamper
