Explanation
The Correct Option is (a) Fragile : Shattered.
Logical Analysis
The relationship in the original pair is based on Property and Result.
We can express this relationship using the following logic:
Property:Result/Action associated with that property
Applying this to the options:
-
Fragile : Shattered → Something that is Fragile (property) is easily Shattered (result). This perfectly matches the original pair.
-
Flexible : Broken → This is incorrect. Something flexible is actually less likely to be broken; it bends instead.
-
Famous : Plagiarized → Being famous does not inherently result in being plagiarized.
-
Somber : Mourned → Somber means gloomy or serious. While related to mourning, it is not a direct "property to result" physical reaction like the original pair.
Conclusion
Just as an inflammable object is easily ignited, a fragile object is easily shattered.
