This question tests your understanding of analogies. We need to find a relationship between "water" and another word that mirrors the relationship between "mirror" and "reflection".
A mirror causes reflection of light. Similarly, water causes refraction of light. Reflection is the bouncing back of light from a surface, while refraction is the bending of light as it passes from one medium to another (like air to water).
- Option 1 (Conduction): Conduction refers to the transfer of heat or electricity, not light, and is not related to water in the same way as reflection is to a mirror.
- Option 2 (Refraction): This is the correct answer because water refracts light.
- Option 3 (Dispersion): Dispersion is the separation of white light into its constituent colors. While water can cause dispersion, it's not the primary relationship as refraction is.
- Option 4 (Immersion): Immersion refers to submerging something in water. It's not directly analogous to the reflection property of a mirror.
Therefore, the correct analogy is: Mirror : Reflection :: Water : Refraction

Read the following passage and answer the items that follow the passage. Your answers to these
items should be based on the passage only.Conventional classrooms, by emphasizing fixed duration over learning effectiveness, resign themselves
to variable outcomes. The tyranny of the classroom is that every learner is subjected to the same set of
lectures in the same way for the same duration. In the end, a few learners shine, some survive, and the
rest are left behind. After the fixed duration, the classroom model moves on, with not a thought spared
for those left behind. This is how we end up with 10 percent employability in our graduates after a
decade and half of formal education. Repeating the same ineffectual script in the realm of skill education
will not produce different results.- In this item, four words have been given, out of which three are alike in some manner and the fourth one is different. Choose the odd one out.
