Duma : Majlis : Khural — Recognize the precise institutional category that unifies these political terms and select the most specific correct label.

Difficulty: Easy

Correct Answer: Parliament

Explanation:


Introduction / Context:
Many verbal analogy items draw on world affairs and political terminology. Terms like Duma, Majlis, and Khural are used in different countries to denote legislative bodies. The task is to abstract these names to their common institutional type and choose the best matching label among the options provided.


Given Data / Assumptions:

  • Duma is the lower house of the Russian Federal Assembly and historically denotes a legislative body in Russia.
  • Majlis is a parliamentary or consultative assembly term used in several countries such as Iran and some Arab states.
  • Khural is a Mongolic term, historically used in Mongolia and related regions, referring to an assembly or parliament.
  • Exactly one option should capture the shared institutional function of these terms.


Concept / Approach:
We identify the functional role of each term. Despite linguistic variation across countries, each word denotes a lawmaking or representative assembly. Therefore the precise and shared classification is Parliament or legislative assembly. Options that refer to cities, currencies, or monuments have no consistent relation to all three terms.


Step-by-Step Solution:
1) Map each term to its political function.2) Confirm that all three are types or names of national or regional legislatures.3) Select Parliament as the unifying institutional label.


Verification / Alternative check:
Substitute the label legislature for each term. Since the options offer Parliament, which is a standard common word for national assemblies, it matches the intended abstraction and is widely recognized in civics education and general knowledge contexts.


Why Other Options Are Wrong:

  • City: These terms are not place names.
  • Currency: None is a monetary unit.
  • Monuments: These are not structures commemorating events or persons.


Common Pitfalls:
Confusing proper nouns from politics with geography or culture. The safe strategy is to focus on institutional roles instead of phonetic familiarity. Any temptation to associate Majlis with a country specific context should still resolve to the general function of a legislative assembly.


Final Answer:
Parliament
