Question

In the following question, a pair of words is given followed by four pairs of words as alternatives. The candidate is required to choose the pair in which the words bear the same relationship to each other as the words of the given pair bear.
Apostate : Religion}

• A. Teacher : Education
• B. Traitor : Country
• C. Potentate : Kingdom
• D. Jailer : Law

Hint:

Focus on the \textbf{exact relationship} (here: betrayal/abandonment), not just general association.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Concept: This is an analogy based on the relationship of betrayal or abandonment of allegiance. Step 1:Understand the given pair.
\[ \text{Apostate} = \text{a person who abandons or renounces a religion} \] So the relation is: \[ \text{Person} \rightarrow \text{abandons/turns against a system or belief} \]
Step 2:Analyze each option:

• (A) Teacher : Education → Profession and field, not abandonment.
• (B) Traitor : Country → Correct; a traitor betrays their country.
• (C) Potentate : Kingdom → Ruler and domain.
• (D) Jailer : Law → Profession and system.

Step 3:Match the relation: \[ \text{Apostate : Religion :: Traitor : Country} \]
