Can you explain to me how to do this
Each item below starts with a pair of words in CAPITAL LETTERS. For each item, figure out the relationship between these two words. Then decide which choice of the choices (A, B, C, or D) expresses a similar relationship. Write the letter of your choice on the answer line.
Agnostic: Religous::
Salesperson:Persuasive
Secretary: telephone
Hermit:social
corn: crop
I don't see an A, B, C, or D, much less your choices.
To determine the relationship between the pair of words in CAPITAL LETTERS, you need to understand the relationship between the words given. Let's analyze each pair:
1. Agnostic: Religous - Agnostic refers to someone who believes that the existence of a god or gods is unknown or unknowable. In this case, the relationship can be defined as being related to a specific belief or position (agnosticism) within the broader concept (religion).
Now, we need to find a similar relationship from the given choices:
A. Salesperson: Persuasive - A salesperson is someone who uses persuasion as a means to sell products or services. The relationship here is that being persuasive is a characteristic or quality that forms a part of the broader concept (salesperson).
B. Secretary: Telephone - There is no clear relationship between a secretary and a telephone in this context. The relationship is not similar to the one in the original pair.
C. Hermit: Social - A hermit is someone who prefers to live in isolation, avoiding social interactions. The relationship here is that being social is the opposite or contrasting characteristic to the broader concept (hermit).
D. Corn: Crop - In this relationship, corn is a type of crop. The relationship is that corn is a specific example or subset of the broader concept (crop).
Based on the similar relationship, the correct answer is:
A. Salesperson: Persuasive
