MAT Practice Analogy Questions

Answer: Choice (B) is correct.

In the first half of the analogy, banal means lacking originality, or commonplace, so look for the answer choice that contains synonyms. In choice (A), someone who is assiduous is diligent and hard-working; cognizant means aware, so those words are not clearly related. In choice (C), disparate means different, which is the opposite of homogeneous. In choice (D), someone who is ignoble is dishonorable, not dignified. In choice (B), covetous and avaricious are synonyms; they mean greedy and desirous of something.
