The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

The analogy compares two words that sit at opposite ends of the same idea. Modern and Old work as an opposite pair based on age, so we need a similar opposite pair from sets I and II.

  1. Option A (AQ: Ancient, Young): This gives Modern : Ancient :: Young : Old. Modern shifts to Ancient with time, and Young shifts to Old with time too, so both sides move the same way.
  2. Option B (AS: Ancient, Western): This gives Modern : Ancient :: Western : Old. Western describes a style, not an age, so it does not connect to Old the way Ancient connects to Modern.
  3. Option C (BP: Death, Industrialisation): This gives Modern : Death :: Industrialisation : Old, mixing unrelated ideas that share no working link.
  4. Option D (CR: Famous, Fashion): This gives Modern : Famous :: Fashion : Old, again pairing words with no real relationship.

Only option A keeps a consistent age based link on both sides: Modern relates to Ancient the way Young relates to Old.

Let's summarize:

  • Check every option by placing it back into the full four term analogy, not just at a glance.

So the answer is option A.
