Question

Exhibit : display :: send :_______?
a. show
b. emit
c. receive
d. stamp

Answer 1

The question presents an analogy between 'exhibit' and 'display', asking to find a word that is to 'send' what 'display' is to 'exhibit'. The correct answer completing this analogy is 'receive', since 'send' and 'receive' are complementary actions just like 'exhibit' and 'display'.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is asking to complete an analogy. In the given pair exhibit : display, the relationship is that of synonyms; both words mean to show something publicly. To find a word that has the same relationship with send, we need to find a word that means the same or has a very similar function. The correct answer here would be c. receive, as sending is to receiving what exhibiting is to displaying; they are complementary actions. When you send something, it is expected that someone will receive it. Therefore, the full analogy should read: exhibit : display :: send : receive.

Answer 2

B. Emit

The first thing to do for questions like these is determine the relationship the first two words have with each other. Because “exhibit” and “display” both mean “to show,” they are synonyms. As such, the word pairing with “send” should be its synonym. One possible meaning for “send” is “transmit.” As such, the word in the options that means “transmit” is “emit,” which is the correct response.
