Question

In this question, there are two words/set of letters/numbers to the left of the sign :: which are connected in some way. The same relationship obtains between the third words/set of letters/numbers and one of the four alternatives under it. Find the correct alternative in question.
Shout : Whisper :: Run : ?

• A. Stay
• B. Stand
• C. Walk
• D. Hop

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1 — Identify the relationship in the first pair:
“Shout” and “Whisper” are antonyms along a spectrum of loudness/intensity of voice. “Shout” = very loud; “Whisper” = very soft.

Step 2 — Transfer the relationship to the second pair:
We need a word related to “Run” the way “Whisper” is related to “Shout,” i.e., a lower-intensity/slower counterpart along the same activity spectrum (locomotion).

Step 3 — Evaluate common locomotion options:
- Sprint → higher intensity than run (not matching).
- Jog → close to run but still a running form, not a distinct lower category on the spectrum of “move on foot.”
- Walk → a slower, lower-intensity form of moving on foot, standing to “Run” as “Whisper” stands to “Shout.”

Step 4 — Conclude:
Therefore, the correct analogous counterpart to “Run” is Walk.

Answer: The correct option is (C) : Walk.
