Question

Choose the word that completes the analogy:
Pitch : Cricket :: Ring : ?

• A. Wrestling
• B. Boxing
• C. Badminton
• D. Tennis
• E. Hockey

Hint:

Think of the sport that is played inside a roped square called a ring, not a court or a field.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Work out the relationship between the first pair.
A "pitch" is the specific playing surface on which the sport of "cricket" is played, it is the term used within cricket for its field of play.

Step 2: Apply the same relationship to the second pair.
We need the sport whose playing area is specifically called a "ring."

Step 3: Eliminate the options that do not fit.
(a) Wrestling matches are contested on a mat, not a ring, so this does not match the required term.
(c) Badminton and (d) Tennis are played on a "court."
(e) Hockey is played on a "field" or "pitch" of its own, not a ring.

Step 4: Confirm the best match.
(b) Boxing is contested inside a roped-off square area that is universally called a "ring," which is the exact playing-area term the analogy requires.

Step 5: State the answer.
The correct answer is option (b), Boxing.
