Question

Question consists of a pair of words bearing a certain relationship. From amongst the given alternatives, pick up the pair that best illustrates a similar relationship.
Presumption: Certainty

• A. Falsehood : Truth
• B. Hearsay : Authenticity
• C. Theorem : Proof
• D. Hunch : Guess

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

Hearsay : Authenticity

Answer 2

A. Falsehood: Truth: A falsehood is a lie, which is the opposite of truth. This is not a similar relationship.
B. Hearsay: Authenticity: Hearsay refers to information received from others that may not be reliable, while authenticity relates to something being genuine or credible. This shows a similar relationship where hearsay lacks authenticity, much like presumption lacks certainty.
C. Theorem: Proof: A theorem is a statement that can be proven, but this implies certainty rather than a lack of it, making it different from the original pair.
D. Hunch: Guess: A hunch is an intuitive feeling or belief without strong evidence, and a guess is an estimate or opinion without sufficient information. While related, this relationship is not as direct as the first pair.The correct option is (B): Hearsay : Authenticity
