To 'look' is to 'inspect' as to 'arrive' is to 'attend'. Arriving at a place typically involves attending an event or gathering at that location.

Explanation

In this analogy, 'grow' is a synonym for 'mature,' so the equivalent relationship would be 'bloom' is a synonym for 'blossom.' 'Flower,' 'wither,' and 'bud' are all related to the concept of blooming, but they do not mirror the relationship between 'grow' and 'mature.'

Submit

A salute is a form of showing respect, similarly a hug is a form of showing affection towards someone. While happiness, gratitude, and compassion are all positive emotions, they do not directly relate to the physical act of hugging as a gesture of affection.

Submit
15. Boot is to Hike as Visor is to

Explanation

In this analogy, the correct answer can be determined by understanding the relationship between the first pair of words. A boot is typically worn during a hike, so the correct action associated with a visor is welding, as both are typically related to specific activities or functions.

Submit
16. Elevator is to Height as Thrust is to

Explanation

In this analogy, elevator is related to height as it is a means of reaching heights. Similarly, thrust is related to altitude as it is the force that propels an aircraft upwards, enabling it to reach higher altitudes.

Submit
17. Push is to Shove as Climb is to

Explanation

Push is a forceful movement, just as Shove is a forceful movement. Climb typically involves a more difficult, awkward motion, similar to how Clamber involves an awkward, laborious climb. Descend, Walk, and Jump do not accurately capture the comparison between Push/Shove and Climb/Clamber.

Submit
