MAT Practice Analogy Questions

Answer: Choice (B) is correct.

Consider the first half of the analogy; flotsam is debris that drifts in the ocean. So, choose the pair in which the second word describes the actions of the first. In choice (A), a commuter travels, not decries or belittles, so eliminate that choice. In choice (C), sedition incites or agitates, the opposite of quells, so eliminate that choice. In choice (D), a muffler silences, it does not amplify, so eliminate that choice. In choice (B), a philanderer is one who flirts - and possibly commits infidelity, so that is the correct choice.
