Question

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.
Range: Mountains :: String:

• A. Ribbons
• B. Toys
• C. Beads
• D. Keys
• E. Leaves

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

To solve this problem, we need to identify the relationship between the first pair of words: "Range" and "Mountains". Once we understand this, we can apply the same relationship to "String" to find the correct word from the options.

1. The word "Range" in this context refers to a "Mountain Range", which is a series of mountains connected together. The key relationship here is that a "Range" comprises several "Mountains".
2. Now, we need to apply this idea of grouping multiple elements to the word "String". A "String" in this context can mean a thread that is used to thread together multiple items.
3. Looking at the options provided:
   • Ribbons
     : Usually associated with strings, but does not form a significant 'whole' with respect to the thread.
   • Toys
     : Not typically associated with being threaded on strings.
   • Beads
     : Often strung together to form necklaces or bracelets, similar to how mountains form a range.
   • Keys
     : While keys can be held together by a ring or string, they are not typically described as 'making a whole' like beads on a string.
   • Leaves
     : These are not typically strung on a string in this context.
4. Therefore, the word "Beads" best fits the relationship needed. Just as a "Range" is a collection of "Mountains", a "String" is a collection of "Beads".

The correct answer is Beads.
