MAT Practice Analogy Questions

Answer: Choice (D) is correct.

A fracas is a disturbance or a noisy argument. So, in the first half of the analogy, the second word describes the first. Look for the answer pair that has the same relationship. In choice (A), ungainly means clumsy or awkward, which is not descriptive of a ballerina, so eliminate that choice. In choice (B), a tycoon is someone who is wealthy, not destitute, or poor, so eliminate that choice. In choice (C), a surrogate is a stand-in or proxy, and does not tend to be egocentric, or selfish, so eliminate that choice. In choice (D), a warrior is sanguinary. Sanguinary means bloodthirsty, which is descriptive of a warrior.
