Direction: In these questions, 2 words will be given to you, and these 2 words will have some kind of a relationship which relates them in a particular way. After finding this relationship, you have to pick the right option which has words related in a similar way :
-
LYING : PERJURY ::
-
- Statement : Testimony
- Seeing : Observing
- Taking : Stealing
- Eating : Dining
Correct Option: A
As we know that ,
Perjury means the offence of willfully telling an untruth or making a misrepresentation under oath. So the relationship between lying and perjury is one of degree or extent. The correct relationship is in option (a), as testimony means a formal, written or spoken statement, especially one given in a court of law. Thus this also represents a ‘degree’ relationship. In all the other options, this relationship of degree doesn’t exist. In (b), seeing and observing are distinct activities, in option (c), stealing is a form of taking, it doesn’t tell the extent to which something is taken and similarly in option (d), dining means having dinner, which involves eating.
Hence , required answer will be option A .
