Eject : Insert: : Advance : ______ 

(By word meaning)

The correct answer is
Retreat

Analogy Word Meaning Relationship

This question tests the understanding of word meanings and relationships, specifically antonyms.

  • The first pair, Eject and Insert, represents opposite actions. 'Eject' means to force something out, while 'Insert' means to place something inside.
  • The second pair requires finding a word that is the opposite (antonym) of Advance. 'Advance' means to move forward or make progress.

Option Analysis

Let's analyze the meaning of each option in relation to 'Advance':

  • Advent: Means the arrival or coming of something important. This is not an antonym of Advance.
  • Progress: Means forward movement or development. This is a synonym of Advance, not its opposite.
  • Retreat: Means to withdraw, move back, or fall back, especially from a position or conflict. This is the direct opposite of Advance.
  • Loan: Means an amount of money borrowed. This word has no relation to the meaning of Advance.

Therefore, the word that correctly completes the analogy by being the antonym of 'Advance' is 'Retreat'.
