There is a certain relationship between two given words on one side of :: and one word is given on another side of :: while another word is to be found from the given alternatives, having the same relationship with this word as the given pair has.
Pesticide : Crop :: Antiseptic : ?
Choose the best alternative from the following?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → Wound
A pesticide protects a crop from pests. In the same way, an antiseptic protects a wound from germs that would infect it. The relation is “is used to protect”.
Why the other options are incorrect
Option (2) Infection — Incorrect. Infection is what the antiseptic prevents, like the pests in the first pair, not the thing it protects.
Option (3) Bandage — Incorrect. A bandage is a strip of cloth that covers a wound; like the antiseptic, it is something used on the wound.
Option (4) Bleeding — Incorrect. Bleeding is stopped by pressure and dressing, not by an antiseptic.
