From the given pair of words, choose the pair which carries the same relation as:
Light : Blind
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → Speech : Dumb
Light : Blind shows a relationship where blindness prevents one from perceiving light. Similarly, a dumb person is unable to produce speech, so the pair Speech : Dumb mirrors the same relation — the inability to experience or perform due to a condition.
Let’s examine the other options:
-
Option (1) → Language : Deaf: Deafness affects hearing, not language directly.
-
Option (2) → Tongue : Sound: The tongue helps produce sound, but this is a functional/causal relation, not one of inability.
-
Option (4) → Voice : Vibration: Vibration produces voice — again, a cause-effect relation, not one involving inability.
