Question

Directions: In the 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.
Classify : Taxonomist :: Bargain :

• A. Sojourner
• B. Minstrel
• C. Juggler
• D. Visitor
• E. Haggle

Answer 1

Answer: (E)

To solve this analogy question, we need to understand the relationship between the first pair of words: "Classify" and "Taxonomist". The term 'taxonomist' is used to refer to a person who classifies things, especially organisms, into different categories or taxonomies. Therefore, "Classify" is the action, and "Taxonomist" is the subject who performs this action.

Next, we need to find a word from the options that forms a similar relationship with the word "Bargain". Let's explore the options:

1. Sojourner: A person who resides temporarily in a place. No direct relation to the action of bargaining.
2. Minstrel: A medieval singer or musician. Again, does not relate to bargaining.
3. Juggler: A person who performs juggling. No connection to bargaining.
4. Visitor: Someone who visits a place. This does not relate to bargaining directly.
5. Haggle: The act of negotiating or bargaining about the price of something. This refers to the action of bargaining.

Among these options, the word "Haggle" is the best fit. "Haggle" is to "Bargain" as "Classify" is to "Taxonomist" because haggling and bargaining are synonymous actions.

Conclusion: The correct answer is "Haggle", as it maintains the same relationship with "Bargain" as "Classify" does with "Taxonomist".
