Question

Pragmatic:utilitarian::

Answer 1

Answer:

A). Beatific:aesthete.

Explanation:

Analogy in simple terms is illustrated as the comparison of two distinct things on the basis of some commonality or equivalence between them. It compares an unfamiliar or complex thing to a simple and familiar in order to clarify and explain the meaning of that particular(unfamiliar) thing.

As per the question, the word 'pragmatic' implies 'practicality' and 'utilitarian' also conveys a similar meaning that implies an analogy. Similarly, the word 'beatific' means something 'blissful' or 'delightful' and equivalently the term 'aesthete' implies 'cultivator(highly sensitive) of the beauty of art and nature'. Since both the words share similar characteristics, therefore, it too establishes an analogy. Thus, option A is the correct answer.

Answer 2

pragmatic:utilitarian:: rational:sentimentalist

The adjective pragmatic means to address things in a sensible and realistically so that is based on practical instead of theoretical considerations.

Something that is utilitarian is created to be useful or practical rather than attractive.

This is an analogy. An analogy is a comparison in which an idea or a thing is compared to another thing or idea that is very different from it. It aims to explain that idea or thing by drawing a comparison between it and something that is familiar.
