Question:

From the following options choose the pair of words that carry the same relationship as

Monster : Giant

(1) Tiger : Leopard

(2) Bull : Crocodile

(3) Galaxy : Garden

(4) Hope : Anguish

Options:

1

2

3

4

Correct Answer:

1

Explanation:

The correct answer is option 1: (1) Tiger : Leopard

The relationship between "Monster" and "Giant" is that they both represent something exceptionally large or imposing, often beyond the normal size or scale.

The relationship between "Monster" and "Giant" is that they both represent something exceptionally large or imposing, often beyond the normal size or scale.

Let's analyze the other pairs:

(1) Tiger : Leopard - Both are large feline predators belonging to the same genus Panthera (in a broader sense, though leopard is Panthera pardus and tiger is Panthera tigris).

(2) Bull : Crocodile - These are two different types of animals with no direct size or scale relationship implied in the same way as monster and giant.

(3) Galaxy : Garden - These are vastly different in scale. A galaxy is immensely large, while a garden is relatively small. This relationship is one of extreme difference in size, the opposite of the original pair.

(4) Hope : Anguish - These are contrasting emotions, not related to size or scale.

Considering the relationship of something being exceptionally large, the pair that best fits this analogy is Tiger : Leopard. While not exactly the same as monster and giant, both tiger and leopard are large members of the cat family, with a general similarity in size and imposing nature. A giant is essentially a very large monster. Similarly, a tiger is a very large and powerful feline, much like a leopard in its general category.
