Question

Which of the following Options best captures the relationship similar to INSPECT : VIVISECT?

• A. Enquire : Observe
• B. Inquire : Explore
• C. Investigate : Interrogate
• D. Query : Survey
• E. Question : Respond

Hint:

In analogy questions, always check if the relationship is based on \textbf{intensity, cause-effect, synonymy, or contrast}. Here, the key is the shift from a general act to a more detailed and deeper act.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Understand the pair INSPECT : VIVISECT.
- "Inspect" means to look at carefully or examine.
- "Vivisect" means to cut open and study in depth (especially of living organisms).
Thus, the second word (Vivisect) indicates a more intense, deeper, and thorough form of the first word (Inspect).
Step 2: Apply the same logic to options.
- (A) Enquire : Observe — Enquiring is asking, while observe is only looking; not an intensity relation.
- (B) Inquire : Explore — "Inquire" means to ask or investigate; "Explore" means to go deeper into the subject. This matches the general to deeper relation.
- (C) Investigate : Interrogate — Interrogation is limited to questioning a person, not necessarily a deeper form of investigation.
- (D) Query : Survey — Different actions, not an intensity link.
- (E) Question : Respond — These are opposites, not intensities.
Step 3: Conclude.
The option that parallels "Inspect : Vivisect" in showing basic action \(\rightarrow\) deeper action is (B) Inquire : Explore.
\[ \boxed{\text{Correct Answer: (B) Inquire : Explore}} \]
