Question

Watch : Wrist :: Girdle :
Directions: In the following questions, 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.

• A. Waist
• B. Finger
• C. Elbow
• D. Arm
• E. Neck

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

To solve the question, we need to understand the relationship between the first pair of words: "Watch" and "Wrist". A watch is commonly worn on the wrist. Now, we are required to find a similar relationship for the word "Girdle".

Step 1: Analyze the relationship in the first pair.

• A "Watch" is an item that is typically worn around the "Wrist".

Step 2: Apply similar reasoning to the second word.

• A "Girdle" is an item that is typically worn around the "Waist". It is used to encircle and provide support to the waist.

Step 3: Choose the option that completes the analogy.

• The logical relationship is: Watch : Wrist :: Girdle : Waist.

Conclusion: Based on the above reasoning, the correct answer is "Waist", as it maintains the same relationship as in the first pair.

Note: Other options (Finger, Elbow, Arm, Neck) do not fit the context as a "Girdle" is not typically associated with any of these parts of the body.
