Question

NIMCET 2008 — English PYQ

NIMCET | English | 2008

Direction : Read the following information carefully and answer the questions.
In each of the following questions, a related pair of words or phrases is followed by four pairs of words or phrases. Select the pair that best expresses a relationship similar to that expressed in the original pair.

INFLAMMABLE : IGNITED :: ………… : ………

Choose the correct answer:

Explanation

The Correct Option is (a) Fragile : Shattered.

Logical Analysis

The relationship in the original pair is based on Property and Result.

Inflammable describes something that has the property of being easily set on fire.
Ignited is the state or action that happens easily to something inflammable.

We can express this relationship using the following logic:

\text{Property} : \text{Result/Action associated with that property}

Applying this to the options:

Fragile : Shattered $\rightarrow$ Something that is Fragile (property) is easily Shattered (result). This perfectly matches the original pair.
Flexible : Broken $\rightarrow$ This is incorrect. Something flexible is actually less likely to be broken; it bends instead.
Famous : Plagiarized $\rightarrow$ Being famous does not inherently result in being plagiarized.
Somber : Mourned $\rightarrow$ 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.

\text{INFLAMMABLE} \implies \text{IGNITED}

\text{FRAGILE} \implies \text{SHATTERED}
