16. STRIDENCY : SOUND ::

(B) graininess : texture
(C) garishness : appearance
(D) variegation : color
(E) aroma : odor

<[STRIDENCY]~describing one specific characteristics> : SOUND ::
(A) <[fluidity] : [liquid]> quite general, two words have nearly close meaning
(B) [graininess : texture]~a close pair but it does not connect idea very much with the original pair
(C) {<[garishness]~having unpleasant color> : appearance} ~ the right word have characteristics, the left word is one among them.
(E) <[aroma] : [odor]> ~ relating words with each other

C is correct
X: Y
X is the negative description of Y

[ramaricon]

why it cant be B as graininess also gets to show the roughness of the surface.

[karanc]

i would go with C the bridge i use is stridency is a harsh/loud sound ; garishness is a loud apperreance.

[harishr1981]

C... btw what is OA?

[ramaricon]

it is c only as stridency is harshness in sound and so is the graininess in texture, whats the flaw in that.

[coolcaeser]

Hey I think the answer should b C....as Stridentcy is the rough harshness of sound which is a negative word and so is Garishness(too much showy that it becomes unpleasant)
Hey ramaricon what is the correct answer ??? B or C ??

[ramaricon]

i have mentioned it, its C only.

STRIDENCY : SOUND there are some negative relation here.stridency is expressing in a quality of sound in negative sense. So only choice match with that.
