Understanding Word Analogies
Word analogies test your ability to understand the relationship between pairs of words and apply that same relationship to a new pair. In this question, we need to find the word that has the same relationship with 'Overseas' as 'Jumble' has with 'Organise'.
Analyzing the Relationship: Organise : Jumble
Let's look at the first pair of words:
- Organise: To arrange something in a structured way; to put things in order.

The word 'Jumble' means the opposite of 'Organise'. They are antonyms.
Applying the Relationship: Overseas : ?
Now we need to find a word that is the antonym of 'Overseas'.
- Overseas: In or to a foreign country; across the sea. It refers to something outside one's own country.
We need to find the word among the options that means the opposite of being in or related to a foreign country or being outside one's own country.
Evaluating the Options
Let's examine each option:
- Alien: Often means foreign or unfamiliar, sometimes in a strange or disturbing way. While related to foreign, it's not the primary antonym for 'Overseas' in the context of location relative to one's own country.
- Foreign: Means of, from, in, or characteristic of a country or language other than one's own. This is a synonym for 'Overseas', not an antonym.
- Domestic: Means of or relating to one's own country. This is the direct opposite of being foreign or overseas.
- Abroad: Means in or to a foreign country. This is another synonym for 'Overseas'.
Based on the analysis, the word that is the antonym of 'Overseas' is 'Domestic'. This matches the relationship between 'Organise' and 'Jumble'.
