The given pair of words contains a specific relationship to each other. Select the best pair of choices which expresses the same relationship as the given. Peel ∶ Peal ∶∶
Rain ∶ Reign
The question asks to identify the pair of words that shares the same relationship as the given pair, "Peel ∶ Peal". The symbol '∶' represents the relationship "is related to", and '∶∶' signifies "is to". Therefore, the core task is to understand the connection between "Peel" and "Peal" and find a similar connection in the options.
Let's analyze the given words:
The relationship between "Peel" and "Peal" is that they are homophones. Homophones are words that sound exactly the same when spoken but have different meanings and different spellings.
We need to find the option where both words sound the same but have different meanings and spellings:
These words are related by meaning (both refer to outer coverings), but they do not sound the same. They are not homophones.
These words have completely different meanings, spellings, and pronunciations. They are not homophones.
These words, "Rain" and "Reign", sound identical (pronounced /reɪn/) but have different meanings and spellings. They are homophones. This matches the relationship observed between "Peel" and "Peal".
These words are related in meaning (the brain is contained within the cranium), but they do not sound the same and are not homophones.
The relationship between "Peel" and "Peal" is that they are homophones. Among the given options, the pair "Rain" and "Reign" also exhibits the relationship of being homophones. Therefore, this pair best expresses the same relationship.
