Question:

In the following question find out the alternative which will replace the question mark?
Waiting : Boredom : : Education : ?

Options:

Class

Enlightenment

Schooling

Cunning

Correct Answer:

Enlightenment

Explanation:

The answer is Enlightenment.

The analogy is between waiting and boredom, and education and enlightenment. Waiting can lead to boredom, and education can lead to enlightenment. So, the missing word must be the consequence of education. Of the answer choices, only enlightenment fits this description.

The other answer choices are not relevant to the analogy. Class is a type of educational setting, schooling is the process of receiving education, and cunning is a quality of being clever or shrewd. None of these are the consequence of education.
