[Zephyr]

ok.now i know the bridge for this

6)a

One cannot confound something that is indistinguishable

One cannot overlook something that is exceptional

 

 

confound=confuse.

so 2 things that are indistinguishable can be confounded with each other.

2 things that are equivalent can be exchanged with each other.

 

Rt now i dont have de OAs. i will post it later.

[sruthi07]

) sedative : pacify ::

A) scalpel : cauterize B) analgesic : discomfit C)surgery : operate

D) antiseptic : sterilize E) stimulant : induce

 

I go with E as it seems a more strong correlation.

A sedative is only used to pacify;A stimulant is only used to induce

But, antiseptic isnt only used to sterilise; it can be used as a anitbacterial/antiviral agent too...

 

5) Authoritative : Acceptance ::

A) conspicuous : attention B)nebulous : validation C)congruous : appropriation

D) maudlin : passion E) tangible : substance

 

I go with A

 

 

6) Indistinguishable : Confound ::

D) equivalent : interchange E) occluded : reveal

 

I go with D

 

7) Daguerrotype : photograph

A) bust : statue B) pastiche : painting C) narrative : novel

D) hieroglyphic : papyrus E) musket : firearm

 

I go with B

 

Zephyr thanks for posting 'em, pretty good ones!

waitin for QA

[TargetGRE6]

4)sedative : pacify :: antiseptic : sterilize

aniseptc is free of germs, sterile and sedative is drug which causes calmness(pacify) and relaxation

 

5) Authoritative : Acceptance :: conspicuous : attention

X causes Y (conspicuous causes attracting notice or attention similarly Authoritative is commanding and causes acceptance)

 

6) Indistinguishable : Confound :: equivalent : interchange

X can be Y (Indistinguishable can be confusing similarly equivalent can be easily interchanged)

 

7) Daguerrotype : photograph :: hieroglyphic : papyrus

X is used in ancient time for Y

 

Please let me know whether i am rite or not.

Musket is a traditional or ancient firearm.

musket ia a gun with long barrel used durng 17th century. Firearm is gun.

10)HACK : CARVE ::

A) grind : polish

B) snip : mince

C) hew : fell

D) whet : blunch

E) gouge : engrave

Is there a spelling mistake in option d?

Bridge: Hack: to cut / sever ; ( dont get confused with computer hacking.......:)

Gouge: to chisel/make holes

So, the relation i think is you cut out a stone to carve it;

you make holes while engraving a piece of metal/wood/stone

( I had to refer for this one as I didnt know what hack actually meant....:rolleyes: )

 

11) FIRM : IRONCLAD ::

A) bruised : broken

B) Polished : shining

C) Smart : brilliant

D) Hard : stiff

E) Jovial : merry

 

Bridge: degree

[sruthi07]

Why isnt option stimulant: induce not considered?

I m befuddled with this one.......:(

This is how I thought

A sedative allays ones emotions for a certain period of time

A stimulant induces a person for a certain period of time

But, Antiseptic makes one free of germs totally.....

hmm...cant get it.

 

 

4)sedative : pacify :: antiseptic : sterilize

aniseptc is free of germs, sterile and sedative is drug which causes calmness(pacify) and relaxation

Please telll wats the bridge for these 2 nos....

[TargetGRE6]

8)COURAGE : RASHNESS :: generosity : prodigality

 

9)PRESCIENCE : FUTURE :: erudition : esoterica

X shows higher degree knowledge of Y.

Prescience is the ability to predict the future through vision

erudition is having or showing great knowledge or learning and Esotericism is knowledge suitable only for an inner circle of the initiated, advanced or privileged.

10)HACK : CARVE :: gouge : engrave

X is a tool for Y

Hack is a tool for cutting and carving similarly gouge is a type of chiesel for engraving.

11) FIRM : IRONCLAD :: Smart : brilliant

One who is X is also Y

 

Zephyr, please let me know the official answer...

[TargetGRE6]

Volatile : temper :: Ready : wit

suitcase : luggage :: hat : millinery

 

Please expain the above bridges.

[TargetGRE6]

Shruti,

sedative : pacify :: antiseptic : sterilize

sedative is drug which causes calmness and relaxation, drug that reduces tension and anxiety(pacify) similarly anteseptic is a substance which causes microorganisms to destroy (sterilize i.e disinfect )

induce is GENERATE, breed, cause, engender.

stimulant is something that promotes activity, interest, or enthusiasm.

stimulant cannot cause to induce..wrong bridge

 

I hope my explanation is lucid....

[sruthi07]

thanks for your explanation!

 

1.Volatile : temper :: Ready : wit

 

these are the adjectives associated with the words.

 

suitcase : luggage :: hat : millinery

 

I m not sure what millenery was; when i referred it said a shop where women's hats are sold; so dunno what the bridge is.......:hmm:

[TargetGRE6]

suitcase : luggage :: hat : millinery

X is Y( synonym variant).

luggage is suitcases, cases and bags carried by travellers similarly millinery is women's hat also profession or business of designing, making, or selling hats.

 

I am not sure but i think this is the only probable bridge.....

[Zephyr]

10) E 11) C

 

thank u all for replying!!

TargetGRE6. u got it all correct. how do u know all these...... keep it up:tup:

[TargetGRE6]

only by practice....

[amishera2007]

from the dictionary i found that millinery is a type of hat for woman with decoration. So the bridge could be X is a type of Y. But there is another choice necklace : garment. Why should we disregard that choice?
