• B. sleepy : nocturnal
• C. metropolitan : urban
• D. agrarian : benevolent

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

To solve the given logical analogy problem, we need to understand the relationship between the first pair of words, "PASTORAL : RURAL," and identify a similar relationship among the provided options.

• Pastoral : Rural
  Here, "pastoral" refers to the countryside or rural life. It indicates something related to or characteristic of rural areas.
• The task is to find a similar relationship pattern in the options given:

• 1. Harvest : Autumn
  The relationship here is a seasonal one; "harvest" is an activity that may occur in "autumn," but they are not synonymous.
• 2. Sleepy : Nocturnal
  "Sleepy" describes a state of drowsiness, whereas "nocturnal" refers to being active at night. They are not synonyms.
• 3. Metropolitan : Urban
  "Metropolitan" pertains to a large city or urban center, similar to the way "urban" pertains to city characteristics.
• 4. Agrarian : Benevolent
  "Agrarian" relates to agriculture, while "benevolent" refers to kindness. These do not share a synonymous relationship.

From the options available, the third option, metropolitan : urban, demonstrates a synonymous relationship that is most similar to the one in "pastoral : rural." Hence, this is the correct choice.
