Two-part matching: “I. Canada :: Rangoon : II”. Pick the correct pair so that each left item correctly matches its associated place.

Difficulty: Easy

Correct Answer: CQ

Explanation:

Introduction / Context:This is a double analogy/matching item. We choose one code where the first letter (A–D) matches “Canada :: ?” and the second letter (P–S) matches “Rangoon :: ?”.

Given Data / Assumptions:

  • I-list: (A) Detroit (B) Florida (C) Toronto (D) Alberta.
  • II-list: (P) Indonesia (Q) Burma (R) East Pakistan (S) Ceylon.
  • Toronto is a principal city in Canada; Rangoon (Yangon) is historically associated with Burma (Myanmar).

Concept / Approach:Select the combination where both mappings are correct: Canada → Toronto (C) and Rangoon → Burma (Q).

Step-by-Step Solution:1) For Canada, pick “Toronto.”2) For Rangoon, pick “Burma.”3) Combine to get “CQ.”

Verification / Alternative check:Detroit/Florida are U.S. places; Alberta is a province but the item standardly pairs country with major city in such lists; Toronto fits best.

Why Other Options Are Wrong:

  • BQ: “Florida” is not in Canada.
  • CP: Indonesia mismatches Rangoon.
  • CS: Ceylon (Sri Lanka) mismatches Rangoon.
  • DQ: Alberta is correct to Canada but the II-part would still need “Q”; since the option is not provided, CQ is the keyed choice.

Common Pitfalls:Picking a valid but differently-typed administrative unit (province vs. city) when the list favors city mapping.

Final Answer:CQ
