Question

Question consists of two words that have a certain relationship to each other followed by four pairs of related words, Select the pair that has the same relationship.
GRAIN : SALT

• A. shard : pottery
• B. shred : wood
• C. blades : grass
• D. chip : glass

Hint:

For unit/material analogies, look for a singular small piece that naturally pairs with the substance (chip of glass, grain of sand/salt, blade of grass).

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Step 1: Identify the relationship in the stem.
A grain is a small particle/unit} of salt.
Step 2: Check which pair shows “small piece of a material.”
(a) shard : pottery} — a shard is a broken fragment; plausible but emphasizes breakage and sharpness rather than a general unit.
(b) shred : wood} — “shred” collocates with cloth/paper more than wood; weak fit.
(c) blades : grass} — number mismatch and “blade” is a unit, but the plural undercuts the direct analogy “grain : salt.”
(d) chip : glass} — a chip is a small piece/fragment of glass; best parallel to a small unit of a substance.
\[ \boxed{\text{(d) chip : glass}} \]
