Analogy

Question:

In the following question find out the alternative which will replace the question mark?
Crime : Punishment : : Deed : ?

Options:

Pleasure

Hatred

Sin

Prize

Correct Answer:

Prize

Explanation:

The answer is Prize.

The analogy is between a crime and its punishment, and a deed and its reward. A crime is punished, and a deed is rewarded. So, the missing word must be the reward for a deed. Of the answer choices, only prize fits this description.

The other answer choices are not relevant to the analogy. Pleasure is a feeling of satisfaction, hatred is a feeling of dislike, sin is an act that is considered wrong, and Fiji is a country. None of these are rewards for deeds.
