Question:

From the given options, select the pair of words which carries the same relationship to the given pair of words:

Seed : Germinate

Options:

Tree : Grow

Egg : Hatch

Fruit : Ripen

Flower : Bloom

Correct Answer:

Egg : Hatch

Explanation:

Seed : Germinate describes the process of a seed coming to life and developing into a seedling. This transformation from a dormant state to a actively growing plant is the essential step for a seed to fulfill its potential.

Egg : Hatch similarly describes the process of a new life emerging from a protective shell. An egg incubates and eventually hatches, allowing the bird or reptile inside to begin its life journey.

Both pairs highlight the transition from a dormant state containing the potential for life to a new and active organism.
