Question
Comprehend : Unintelligible ::OptionsSwallow : EdibleAccumulate : Insignificantnone of theseControl : UngovernableCircumvent: Risky
Solution
The question seems to be a type of analogy question often found in verbal reasoning or language proficiency tests. The structure of the question is "A is to B as C is to what?"
In this case, "Comprehend" is to "Unintelligible" as what is to what?
The relationship between "Comprehend" and "Unintelligible" is that something that is unintelligible cannot be comprehended or understood.
So, we are looking for a pair of words where the first word cannot be done to the second.
Looking at the options:
- Swallow : Edible - This doesn't fit because you can swallow something that is edible.
- Accumulate : Insignificant - This doesn't fit because you can accumulate something that is insignificant.
- Control : Ungovernable - This fits because you cannot control something that is ungovernable.
- Circumvent: Risky - This doesn't fit because you can circumvent something that is risky.
So, the answer is "Control : Ungovernable".
