    Symphony : note ::

    • Graph : bar

    • Code : language

    • Novel : short story

    • Painting : brushstroke

    Correct Answer
    A. Painting : brushstroke
    Explanation
    The analogy presented in the question is a comparison between a symphony and a note. A symphony is a complex musical composition consisting of various musical elements, and a note is one of the individual sounds or tones within that composition. Similarly, a painting is a complete artwork created using various techniques and elements, while a brushstroke is one of the individual marks or strokes made with a brush to create the painting. Therefore, the relationship between painting and brushstroke is similar to the relationship between symphony and note.

    Correct Answer
    A. Disdain : repugnant
    Explanation
    The word "esteem" means to regard someone or something with admiration or respect. Similarly, "disdain" means to have a feeling of contempt or disgust towards someone or something. The word "repugnant" means extremely distasteful or unacceptable. Therefore, the relationship between "disdain" and "repugnant" is that disdain is a feeling similar to admiration, but towards something that is considered repugnant or disgusting.

    Radiant : somber ::

    • Savory : delightful

    • Pandemonium : din

    • Intrepid : obvious

    • Ample : scant

    Correct Answer
    A. Ample : scant
    Explanation
    The relationship between the words "radiant" and "somber" is that they are antonyms, with "radiant" meaning bright and cheerful, and "somber" meaning dark and gloomy. In the same way, the words "ample" and "scant" are also antonyms, with "ample" meaning plentiful or abundant, and "scant" meaning lacking or inadequate. Therefore, the analogy "radiant : somber :: ample : scant" is a valid analogy as both pairs of words exhibit the same relationship of being antonyms.

    • Drama : parody

    Correct Answer
    A. Photograph : portrait
    Explanation
    A likeness is an exaggerated or distorted representation of someone or something, just like a caricature. Similarly, a photograph is a representation of someone or something captured through a camera, and a portrait is a specific type of photograph that focuses on capturing the likeness and personality of a person. Both a caricature and a portrait involve capturing the likeness of someone or something, making photograph : portrait the correct analogy.

Similarly, a pessimist is someone who has a negative outlook on life. The word "negative" describes the mindset of a pessimist, just as "solitary" describes the lifestyle of a hermit. Therefore, the correct answer is pessimist : negative.
