Directions: In the following question, the first two words are related in a particular manner. You have to choose a word from the options so that a new pair of words is formed where the relation is the same as that of the first pair of words. You are required to consider the secondary meaning of certain words while choosing an answer.
Archipelago : Island :: Constellation:

• A. Garden
• B. Flower
• C. Star
• D. Valley
• E. Mountain

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

The given question is about finding the analogous relationship between two pairs of words. The first pair of words, "Archipelago : Island", indicates a specific relationship that we need to replicate in the second pair.

An archipelago is a group or collection of islands. Similarly, a constellation is a group or collection of stars.

We can break it down further:

• Archipelago is to Island as Constellation is to ???

Analyzing the options:

• Garden – This does not relate to Constellation.
• Flower – A flower is not a part of a constellation.
• Star – This fits perfectly as a constellation is a group of stars.
• Valley – This does not relate to Constellation.
• Mountain – This does not relate to Constellation.

Thus, the correct option is Star.

We can summarize:

• Archipelago is a collection of Islands.
• Constellation is a collection of Stars.

Therefore, the correct relationship is Constellation : Star.
