Please help me to answer these analogy questions.
1) Which 2 words have the same relationship as Mansion: Residence?
a) Yacht: Harbor
b) Chandelier: Candle
c) Tuxedo: Wardrobe
d) Diamond: Rhinestone
e) Limousine: Automobile
The answer seems to (b) and (e) but the answer given in my book is (b).
2) Which 2 words have the same relationship as Zealot: Fanaticism?
a) Imposter: Sham
b) Vagabond: Vagrant
c) Umpire: Game
d) Orator: Frenzy
e) Parasite: Food
I feel that the answer could be (a) or (b) but the answer given in my book is (a). I felt so because Zealot means a fanatic and so both the words mean the same. Similarly, imposter & sham and Vagabond & Vagrant mean the same. Please tell me where I’m wrong.
