Question

Choose the most appropriate words or phrases that are equivalent in meaning to the above phrase:
Which of the following four pairs shows the same relationship between its two elements as between 'jewellery, wealth'?

• A. Spectacles: Learning
• B. Turban: Piety
• C. Stethoscope: Sailing
• D. Boomerang : Royalty

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

To solve this question, we need to determine the relationship between the words "jewellery" and "wealth" and find which one of the given pairs has a similar relationship.

1. Understand the Relationship:
   • The term "jewellery" is often associated with or a symbol of "wealth." Jewellery is a material possession that represents wealth and financial status.
2. Analyze Each Option:
   • Spectacles: Learning - Spectacles (or eyeglasses) are an aid for vision, but they do not directly symbolize or represent learning. Therefore, this pair does not have a similar relationship to "jewellery: wealth."
   • Turban: Piety - A turban is traditionally worn as a head covering in many cultures and can symbolize religious observance or piety, representing adherence and respect to religious conduct, similar to how jewellery symbolizes wealth.
   • Stethoscope: Sailing - A stethoscope is a medical instrument unrelated to sailing, so there is no symbolic or representative relationship here.
   • Boomerang: Royalty - A boomerang is a tool or weapon and does not typically symbolize royalty, thus not fitting the relationship.
3. Conclusion:
   • The pair "Turban: Piety" reflects a similar relationship as "Jewellery: Wealth." Hence, "Turban" represents "Piety" in the way "Jewellery" represents "Wealth."
