About Pair of words MCQs
This English topic covers the main relationship types used in analogy questions. Examples include group names like CATTLE : DROVE, opposites like SCHOLAR : IGNORANT, defining actions like OBSEQUIOUS : FAWN and COMPLAIN : CARP, purpose like BLANDISHMENT : COAX, part and whole like TILE : MOSAIC and SOLILOQUY : PLAY, and degree or characteristic like WAN : COLOUR and CLOTH : TEXTURE. Some pairs use advanced vocabulary, so word knowledge and reasoning both matter.
Analogies appear in English and verbal reasoning sections across Pakistan, India and Bangladesh, especially in ISSB, GAT and armed forces tests. The best method is to state the relationship in a short sentence and test each option against it. Practising these MCQs builds that habit, widens your vocabulary and improves performance in other reasoning questions where you must spot patterns quickly.
