Question

Belt : Buckle :: Net :
Directions: In the question, the first two words are related in a particular manner. You have to choose a word from the options so that a new pair of words is formed where the relation is the same as that of the first pair of words. You are required to consider the secondary meaning of certain words while choosing an answer.

• A. Clasp
• B. Hook
• C. Ring
• D. Clutch
• E. Strap

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

The correct answer is option (B):

Hook

The relationship in the first pair, Belt : Buckle, is that a buckle is a component or part of a belt. It's the mechanism that fastens the belt.

Now we need to find a word that has a similar relationship with "Net." A net is something that is used to catch things.

Looking at the options:

* Clasp: While a clasp can fasten something, it's not the primary function of a net.
* Hook: A hook is a part of a net. Nets can be held up by hooks. Nets can also catch things with hooks.
* Ring: Rings are not part of nets
* Clutch: A clutch is not a part of a net.
* Strap: A strap is not a part of a net.

The most fitting answer is Hook because a hook can be a component or a tool used in conjunction with a net, providing a means of fastening it or catching something with it. It fulfills the same relationship as "Buckle" has with "Belt."
