Directions: Choose the pair closest in relationship to the given pair:
MORPHINE : SEDATES
-
oil : smears
-
bandage : protects
-
drug : addicts
-
liquor : sedates
-
medicine : soothes
D
Correct answer
Explanation
Morphine is a substance that produces sedation as its primary effect. Similarly, liquor (alcohol) is a substance that sedates. The relationship is 'substance : effect it produces.' Option A is wrong because oil doesn't inherently smear. Option B has 'protects' as a function, not an effect of the substance itself. Option C is a substance-user relationship, not substance-effect. Option E is close but 'soothes' is more about alleviating than the direct sedative effect.
