Analogy - General Inteligence & Reasoning MCQ Questions and Answers

Correct Answer: Option B – Wash : Dishes

Explanation of the relationship:
Kick : Football shows a relationship where an action is commonly performed on a specific object. “Kicking” is the usual action done to a “football.” Now we check each option to find the same action → object pattern.

Option A: Throw : Ring
This pair can relate to a game (ring toss), but it is not the common or natural action usually performed on a ring. A “ring” (like jewelry) is not something normally thrown. So the action → object relationship is weak and not general.

Option B: Wash : Dishes
This pair perfectly matches the pattern. “Washing” is the normal, common action done to “dishes.” Just like “kick” naturally goes with “football,” “wash” naturally goes with “dishes.” That makes this the most accurate analogy.

Option C: Mop : Sweep
This pair compares two actions, both verbs. There is no object being acted upon. So it does not match the action → object structure of Kick : Football.

Option D: Dust : Rag
Here, “rag” is a tool or instrument, not the object that is acted upon. The relationship becomes action → tool, not action → object. Therefore, it does not match the original pattern.

Final Conclusion:
Only Option B (Wash : Dishes) shows the same clear and natural action performed on an object relationship as Kick : Football.
