211. Choose analogous pair: Jews : Synagogue

  • A. Parsis : Temple
  • B. Jains : Fire Temple
  • C. Buddhists : Pagoda
  • D. Hindus : Vedas

Explanation: A synagogue is a place of worship for Jews, and a pagoda is traditionally associated with Buddhist worship. Vedas are sacred texts rather than a place of worship, and the other religious pairings are less precise.

Correct answer: Buddhists : Pagoda

212. Choose analogous pair: Taj Mahal : Agra

  • A. Eiffel Tower : France
  • B. Algeria : Africa
  • C. Cotton : Ahmedabad
  • D. Turkey : Asia

Explanation: The Taj Mahal is a landmark located in Agra, while the Eiffel Tower is a landmark located in France, more specifically Paris. The locations are expressed at different levels, but the landmark-location relationship is the intended analogy.

Correct answer: Eiffel Tower : France

  • A. Needle : Cloth
  • B. Paddle : Canoe
  • C. Knife : Whittle
  • D. Pallet : Painter

  • A. Shoe : Sock
  • B. Wool : Sweater

  • A. Quinine : Malaria
  • B. Boat : Sea
  • C. Mosquito : Malaria
  • D. Malnutrition : Rickets

  • A. Tea : Leaves
  • B. Plant : Tree
  • C. Butter : Ghee
  • D. Cream : Milk

217. Choose analogous pair: Acoustic : Sound

  • A. Mathematics : Geometry
  • B. Radio : Song
  • C. Pathology : Disease

Correct answer: Pathology : Disease

218. Choose analogous pair: Deplete : Enervate

  • A. Tighten : Loosen
  • B. Exhaust : Enfeeble
  • C. Invigorate : Tired

  • A. Police : Crime
  • B. Teacher : Study
