Accepted Answer

### Question 5
# Brief Explanations:
To solve this analogy, we analyze the relationship between the given words. "Encomium" means a speech or piece of writing that praises someone or something, so it is a type of "praise". Now we check each option:
- Option (a): "Agility" refers to the ability to move quickly and easily, while "speed" is the rate of movement. "Agility" is not a type of "speed" but related to it in a different way.
- Option (b): "Mile" is a unit of "distance", not a type of "distance" in the same way "encomium" is a type of "praise".
- Option (c): "Valedictory" is a speech or statement of farewell, so it is a type of "farewell", similar to how "encomium" is a type of "praise".
- Option (d): "Antidote" is a substance that counteracts "poison", not a type of "poison".

# Answer:
(c) valedictory : farewell

### Question 6
# Brief Explanations:
First, we determine the relationship between "Apothegm" and "Maxim". An "apothegm" is a short, pithy, and instructive saying, which is similar in meaning to a "maxim" (a short, pithy statement expressing a general truth or rule of conduct). Now we analyze each option:
- Option (a): An "acolyte" is a person assisting a "master", not similar in meaning.
- Option (b): "Aspersion" means a harmful or false statement made to damage someone's reputation, which is a type of "insult", similar to how "apothegm" is a type of "maxim" (both have a similar semantic relationship of one being a type of the other in terms of meaning category).
- Option (c): A "demagogue" is a political leader who seeks support by appealing to popular desires and prejudices rather than by using rational argument, and a "senator" is a member of a senate. They are not similar in meaning.
- Option (d): A "prototype" is a first or preliminary model of something, and a "factory" is a place where goods are manufactured. They are not similar in meaning.

# Answer:
(b) aspersion : insult

### Question 7
# Brief Explanations:
We first find the relationship between "Ineluctable" and "Preventable". "Ineluctable" means unable to be avoided or prevented, so it is the opposite of "Preventable". Now we check each option:
- Option (a): "Covert" means not openly acknowledged or displayed, and "blatant" means completely obvious or conspicuous, so they are opposites, similar to the relationship between "ineluctable" and "preventable".
- Option (b): "Internecine" means destructive to both sides in a conflict, and "destructive" has a similar meaning, not opposite.
- Option (c): "Germane" means relevant and appropriate, and "foreign" means unrelated or from another country, but the relationship is not the same as the opposite relationship of the given pair.
- Option (d): "Congenital" means present from birth, and "friendly" has no opposite relationship with it.

# Answer:
(a) covert : blatant

### Question 8
# Brief Explanations:
We analyze the relationship between "Adumbrate" and "Future". "Adumbrate" means to give a faint indication or outline of (something future), so it is related to foreshadowing or outlining the "future". Now we check each option:
- Option (a): "Limit" is related to setting a boundary on an "amount", not similar to the relationship of "adumbrate" and "future".
- Option (b): "Reduce" is related to making a "quantity" smaller, not similar.
- Option (c): "Measure" is related to determining the length, size, etc., of "time", not similar.
- Option (d): "Recall" means to bring back (a past event, memory, etc.) into one's mind, so it is related to the "past" in a way similar to how "adumbrate" is related to the "future" (both are actions related to a time - related concept).

# Answer:
(d) recall : past

### Question (Invoke : Repudiate)
# Brief Explanations:
First, we find the relationship between "Invoke" and "Repudiate". "Invoke" means to call on (a law, right, etc.) or to appeal to, while "Repudiate" means to reject as untrue or unjust. So they are antonyms. Now we analyze each option:
- Option (a): "Absolve" means to declare (someone) free from guilt, obligation, or punishment, and "Implicate" means to show (someone) to be involved in a crime or wrongdoing. They are antonyms, similar to the relationship between "invoke" and "repudiate".
- Option (b): "Coalesce" means to come together to form one mass or whole, and "Unite" has a similar meaning, not antonyms.
- Option (c): "Ascertain" means to find out for certain, and "Discover" has a similar meaning, not antonyms.
- Option (d): "Remember" and "Recall" have similar meanings, not antonyms.

# Answer:
(a) absolve : implicate

### Question (Germane : Relevant)
# Brief Explanations:
We first determine the relationship between "Germane" and "Relevant". "Germane" means relevant and appropriate to the matter at hand, so it is a synonym of "Relevant". Now we analyze each option:
- Option (a): "Sedulous" means diligent and hard - working, and "Careless" means not giving sufficient attention or thought, so they are antonyms, not synonyms.
- Option (b): "Trenchant" means vigorous or incisive in expression or style, and "Mild" means gentle or not severe, so they are antonyms, not synonyms.
- Option (c): "Obdurate" means stubbornly refusing to change one's opinion or course of action, so it is a synonym of "Stubborn", similar to the relationship between "germane" and "relevant".
- Option (d): "Valedictory" is related to farewell, and "Proud" has no synonym relationship with it.

# Answer:
(c) obdurate : stubborn
