General Intelligence Analogy (Verbal) Analogy (Verbal) Question #8055 (CAT-I)

Choose the pair that best represents a similar relationship to the one expressed in the original pair: ANTIDOTE : POISON ::

A CURE : ILLNESS
B REMEDY : SICKNESS
C RELIEF : PAIN
D BALM : INJURY
Correct Answer & Explanation
Option A
• The relationship between 'ANTIDOTE' and 'POISON' is that an antidote specifically counteracts or neutralizes poison. • Similarly, a 'CURE' specifically counteracts or eliminates an 'ILLNESS'. • While other options are related to alleviating negative conditions, 'cure' directly addresses the root cause of an 'illness' in the same way an 'antidote' addresses 'poison'.
