MAT Practice Analogy Questions

Answer: Choice (C) is correct.

In the first half of the analogy, to remonstrate means to plead in protest, not to concur or agree, so look for the answer choice that contains antonyms. In choice (A), to glean and to garner mean the same thing - to gather or collect. In choice (B), to imbue means to soak thoroughly or saturate, so eliminate that choice. In choice (D), to ostracize means to banish, or to make someone an outcast, so eliminate that choice. The only choice that contains antonyms is choice (C). To aggrandize means to make something greater or exaggerate, not to belittle or demean.
