301. 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

302. 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

303. 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

304. 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

305. 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

306. 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

307. 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

308. 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

309. 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

310. 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
