GATE AG 2023 • Q2 MCQ • 1 Mark

Section 8: General Aptitude

Analytical & Spatial Aptitude

Subtopic: Logic Deduction & Pattern Recognition

Question Statement:

References : ______ : : Guidelines : Implement (By word meaning)

Options:

  • (A) Sight
  • (B) Site
  • (C) Cite
  • (D) Plagiarise

Official Answer Key:

C

Step-by-Step Solution & Explanation

This is an analogy based on the relationship between a verb and the noun it produces. “Implement” is the action performed on “Guidelines”. Similarly, the action performed that produces “References” is to “Cite” (i.e., you cite sources, and the cited sources become your references). (A) Sight and (B) Site are homophones of “cite” but wrong in meaning; (D) Plagiarise is the opposite of proper citation. Answer: (C) Cite.
