Q1Select the related word from the given options: Animals : Zoology :: Blood : ?
The relationship is between a subject matter and the branch of study devoted to it. Animals are studied in zoology; in the same way, blood is studied in hematology. Pathology studies diseases and their causes, so it is broader and not specifically the science of blood. Anatomy deals with the structure of the body and its parts, not blood as a specialised field. Entomology studies insects, which would relate to insects rather than blood. Hence the matching related word is hematology.
Q2Choose the most appropriate word from the given alternatives which bears the same relationship with the third word as the first two bear. Mountain : Hill :: Tree : ?
A mountain and a hill are related by size and form: a mountain is a much larger natural elevation, while a hill is a smaller one of the same broad kind. By the same logic, a tree is a larger woody plant and a shrub is a smaller woody plant. A leaf is only a part of a tree, not its smaller counterpart. A forest is a collection of many trees, and rain is a weather event, so neither matches the given relationship.
