MAT Practice Analogy Questions

Answer: Choice (C) is correct.

In the first half of the analogy, the words are antonyms. Someone who is uncouth is uncivilized or bad-mannered. Someone who is urbane is refined and cultured. So, look for the answer pair that contains antonyms. In choice (A), something that is insipid is dull and unexciting, so eliminate that choice. In choice (B), someone who is nubile is of marriageable age, so eliminate that choice. In choice (D), someone who is precocious - like an intelligent child - is advanced, so eliminate that choice. Choice (C) contains the antonyms. Something that is untenable is indefensible; if you have an untenable position in an argument, your side is not defensible.
