Directions: Find the relation between the first pair of words given below and select the word from the given options that bears the same relationship with the other word given in the set:
Fossils : Creatures : : Mummies : ?
-
Egypt
-
Human beings
-
Animals
-
Martyrs
B
Correct answer
Explanation
Fossils are the preserved remains or traces of ancient creatures. Mummies are the preserved remains of human bodies (deliberately or naturally). The relationship is 'preserved remains : the living source they come from.' Distractors: Egypt is where mummies are found, not the source; Animals can be mummified but 'human beings' is the primary association; Martyrs is unrelated.
