Answer 2

Earth: Grass is the pair of words that show the same relationship.

ANSWER: Option (B)

EXPLANATION:

This is called a verbal analogy. The verbal analogy shows the similarity between any two pairs of words. Here the given word pair is scalp and hair. The scalp is the flat surface of the head where hair grows naturally.

This shows the relationship between scalp and hair. The similarity of the relationship exists between Earth and Grass because Grass grows naturally on the earth’s ground which is compared with the scalp.

Hair can be compared with grass. Both grow naturally on the surface. Whereas nail polish is to be applied. Cattle are to be grown in the home. Cap is made of fur. So these word pairs have no similarity with the given word pair.
