Question:

From the given pair of words, choose the pair which carries the same relation as:

Light : Blind

Options:

Language : Deaf

Speech : Dumb

Tongue : Sound

Voice : Vibration

Correct Answer:

Speech : Dumb

Explanation:

The correct answer is Speech : Dumb.

The words light and blind have a similar relationship as the words speech and dumb. They both refer to the absence of something. Light is the ability to see, while blind means the inability to see. Speech is the ability to produce words with the voice, while dumb means the inability to speak.

The other options do not have the same relationship as the given pair of words. Language is a system of communication, while deaf means the inability to hear. Tongue is the muscular organ in the mouth that is used for tasting, speaking, and swallowing, while sound is a vibration that can be heard. Voice is the sound produced by the vocal cords, while vibration is a rapid back-and-forth motion.
