Which of the following pairs will replace the question marks?
Eyes : Tears :: ? : ?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → Volcano : Lava
Tears flow out of the eyes, so the pair links a source with the liquid that comes out of it. In the same way, lava flows out of a volcano when it erupts.
Why the other options are incorrect
Option (1) Sea : Water — Incorrect. A sea is made up of water; water does not come out of it the way tears come out of the eyes.
Option (3) Heart : Artery — Incorrect. An artery is a blood vessel joined to the heart, a tube and not something that flows out.
Option (4) Hunger : Bread — Incorrect. Bread is food that satisfies hunger; it does not come out of hunger.
