Question

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.
Classify : Taxonomist :: Bargain :

• A. Sojourner
• B. Minstrel
• C. Juggler
• D. Visitor
• E. Haggle

Answer 1

Answer: (E)

The correct answer is option (E):

Haggle

The relationship in the first pair of words, Classify : Taxonomist, is that a taxonomist is someone who performs the action of classifying things. Classifying is the job or function of a taxonomist.

Now let's analyze the second part of the analogy, Bargain : ?

We need to find a word that describes the person or entity that performs the action of bargaining.

* Sojourner: A sojourner is someone who stays somewhere temporarily. This doesn't relate to bargaining.
* Minstrel: A minstrel is a musician. This also doesn't relate to bargaining.
* Juggler: A juggler performs the action of juggling. This doesn't relate to bargaining.
* Visitor: A visitor is someone who visits a place. This doesn't relate to bargaining.
* Haggle: To haggle means to bargain.

Therefore, the relationship Bargain : Haggle mirrors the original relationship. A person who bargains is said to haggle.
