ROYALTY : PAYMENT :: (A) manuscript : page (B) gratuity : check (C) dividend : debt (D) subpoena : writ @

For the analogy ROYALTY : PAYMENT, the relationship is "a type of." Royalty is a specific type of payment, typically for the
use of intellectual property or natural resources. To find a parallel, you'd look for an option where the first term is a specific
type of the second term.

Among the options given:

(A) manuscript : page - A manuscript consists of pages, but this is more about parts to a whole rather than a type to a
category.

(B) gratuity : check - Gratuity (a tip) is a type of payment, but a check is a medium or tool for payment, not a category of
payment.
(C) dividend : debt - Dividends are payments made by a corporation to its shareholder members, while debt represents
money owed. These terms don’t maintain a "type of" relationship similar to royalty and payment.

(D) subpoena : writ - A subpoena is a type of writ (a formal written order issued by a body with administrative or judicial
jurisdiction). This matches the "type of" relationship.

The closest analogy based on the "type of" relationship would be (D) subpoena : writ, indicating a specific type within a
broader category.

15. AESTHETICS : BEAUTY ::

Correct Answer: (B) epistemology : knowledge

Aesthetics is the branch of philosophy concerned with the nature of beauty, making epistemology, the study of knowledge,
the correct parallel as it is concerned with the nature of knowledge.

In the analogy "ASTRINGENT : PUCKER," an astringent substance causes the sensation of puckering.

To find a similar relationship, we need to identify an option where one term causes the other.

Among the options provided:

(A) speed : collision - An increase in speed can lead to a collision, as higher speed increases the likelihood of collision.

This option does indeed reflect a cause-effect relationship, as an increase in speed can cause a collision, similar to how an
astringent can cause puckering.

Therefore, the correct answer is:

(A) speed : collision
