Analogy — Select the pair showing alternative methods within one domain: Fly : Walk

Difficulty: Easy

Correct Answer: Roast : Bake

Explanation:


Introduction / Context:
“Fly” and “Walk” are both modes of locomotion—alternative methods within one domain (movement). We must choose an option that similarly presents two alternative methods within a shared activity domain.


Given Data / Assumptions:

  • Fly vs walk: different techniques of the same general action (moving from A to B).
  • Look for two distinct techniques of a common practice.


Concept / Approach:
Eliminate pairs that show states (not methods), categories (not techniques), or unrelated roles. Prefer “method A vs method B” within one activity.


Step-by-Step Solution:
(a) Sit : Sleep → states of rest, not methods of a single actionable domain.(b) Roast : Bake → both are cooking methods; mirrors alternative techniques like fly vs walk.(c) Sky : Earth → locations/categories, not methods.(d) Pilot : Captain → professional roles/titles, not techniques.


Verification / Alternative check:
“Locomotion” with methods fly/walk maps to “cooking” with methods roast/bake.


Why Other Options Are Wrong:
(a) Not procedural methods; (c) nouns denoting realms; (d) roles, not methods.


Common Pitfalls:
Interpreting “fly : walk” as opposites; they are alternatives, not antonyms.


Final Answer:
Roast : Bake
