The following question, consist of two words each that have a certain relationship to each other, followed by four lettered pairs of words. Select the lettered pair that has the same relationship as the original pair of words: Rank : Badges

Person : Status
Office : Designation
Flag : Nation
Medal : Honour

The correct answer is: B. Office : Designation

A rank is a position of authority or responsibility in a hierarchy. Badges are symbols that are worn to indicate a person’s rank. An office is a position of employment or authority. A designation is a title or description of a position.

In the original pair of words, “rank” and “badges,” the relationship is that a rank is indicated by badges. In the answer pair, “office” and “designation,” the relationship is that an office is designated by a title.

The other options are incorrect because the relationships are not the same. In option A, “person” and “status,” the relationship is that a person has a status. In option C, “flag” and “nation,” the relationship is that a flag represents a nation. In option D, “medal” and “honour,” the relationship is that a medal is awarded for honour.
