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 : Venison302. 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 : Pen303. 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 : Performance304. 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 : Excommunicate305. 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 : Bleat306. 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 : Rank307. 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 : Scamper308. 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 : Bend309. 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 : Crew310. 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
