UGC NET Questions (Paper – 1)

Statement A summarises how analogy questions require transferring a discovered relation from one pair to another. Statement B notes that the relation can take many forms such as part–whole or cause–effect. Statement E is also correct because understanding the type of relation is central to answering analogies, even though word meanings are also needed. Statement C is false since in classification the odd item out is the one that does not fit the common pattern, and D is false because NET papers can mix verbal and non-verbal analogies. Thus A, B and E only are correct, matching option A.

Option A:
Option A is correct as it highlights the relational nature of analogies, the variety of possible connections and the strategic focus on identifying relationships, while excluding C and D, which misdescribe classification and exam design.

Option B:
Option B is incorrect because it includes C, which reverses the idea of an odd item out, and it omits E, so it both accepts a false statement and loses an important strategic insight.

Option C:
Option C is wrong since it includes D, which wrongly claims that verbal and non-verbal analogies never appear together, and it omits B, thereby weakening the explanation of relation types.

Option D:
Option D is incorrect because it contains C, the wrong description of the odd item, and it fails to include A, so it both introduces an error and omits a core feature of analogies.
