351. Choose analogous pair: Fragile : Crack
- A. Cemetery : Death
- B. Pliable : Bend
- C. Hydro : Water
- D. Irreducible : Reduce
Explanation: A fragile object may crack, while a pliable object can bend. Hydro and water are not a property-and-result pair, and irreducible means incapable of being reduced rather than something that reduces.
Correct answer: Pliable : Bend352. Choose analogous pair: Soldier : Regiment
- A. Flower : Bunch
- B. Drop : Ocean
- C. Sailor : Crew
- D. Deer : Jungle
Explanation: A soldier is a member of a regiment, just as a sailor may be a member of a crew. A bunch is a collection of flowers, but flowers are not members in the same personal or organisational sense.
Correct answer: Sailor : Crew353. 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.
Correct answer: Chef : Kitchen354. 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.
Correct answer: Grimace : Pain355. 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.
Correct answer: Lead : Pencil356. 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.
Correct answer: Speak : Shout357. Choose analogous pair: Fury : Ire
- A. Amusement : Happiness
- B. Joke : Laugh
- C. Cry : Whisper
- D. Convulsion : Spasm
Explanation: Fury and ire are synonyms for intense anger, while convulsion and spasm are synonyms for an involuntary muscular movement. The remaining pairs are not synonymous.
Correct answer: Convulsion : Spasm358. 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.
Correct answer: Fossils : Paleontology359. Choose analogous pair: Conciliatory : Friendliness
- A. Cache : Hide
- B. Garrulous : Old
- C. Timid : Bold
- D. Obvious : Explain
Explanation: Conciliatory describes an attitude intended to promote friendliness or peace; cache can function as a verb meaning to hide or store secretly. The other pairs contain contradictory or mismatched meanings.
Correct answer: Cache : Hide360. Choose analogous pair: Magazine : Periodical
- A. Gun : Soldier
- B. Harvesting : Agriculture
- C. Pun : Joke
- D. Truck : Transport

Correct answer: Pun : Joke
