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 : Bend

352. 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 : Crew

353. 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 : Kitchen

354. 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 : Pain

355. 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 : Pencil

356. 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 : Shout

357. 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 : Spasm

358. 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 : Paleontology

359. 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 : Hide

360. Choose analogous pair: Magazine : Periodical

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

Explanation: A magazine is a type of periodical, just as a pun is a type of joke. The other options link unrelated objects or activities rather than a specific type to its general class.

Correct answer: Pun : Joke
