GATE CS 2020 QGA-3 — General Aptitude

To solve this analogy, we need to identify the relationship between the words in the first pair:

Cook : Cook

• The first word Cook is a verb (the action of preparing food).
• The second word Cook is a noun representing the agent who performs this action (a person who cooks).

Applying the same Verb : Noun (Agent) relationship to the second pair:

Fly : _______

• The word Fly is a verb (the action of moving through the air).
• The corresponding noun representing the agent who flies is a Flyer (or flier).

Let us evaluate the options:

• A. Flyer: Correct, as it is the noun representing the agent who flies.
• B. Flying: Incorrect, as it is a continuous verb form or gerund.
• C. Flew: Incorrect, as it is the past tense of the verb "fly".
• D. Flighter: Incorrect, as it is not a standard English word.

Therefore, the correct option is A.
