Where? : Section I of the MICAT WORD ASSOCIATIONS What is it? : (Courtesy: Priyesh Bhadauriya s Post on VITAMICA) There would be four words (approx) to which you would have to relate one of the five option words.. now first of all only two or three would relate to more than three words, so once we are down to 2 or 3 options, we need to start eliminating, which one does not relate to all of them through any interpretation? After Eliminating, now when we are down to 2 options we have to look for a relationship which cannot be challenged.. like ( Blood - Red ) ( Sun - Warm ).. i hope all this makes a bit sense and helps you. Lets take an example Directions: There are four clues on the left, only one word (out of the five words) given on the right is related to all the four clues. Find out the word which is related to all the four clues. Laundry Will Pig Harmonize (A) Clean (B) Dirty (C) White (D) Heap (E) Iron Now right off the bat we can ignore clean ( doesn't relate to pig ), white ( doesn't relate to will ) Same with heap.. Now we are left with Dirty and Iron. Dirty can Iron both can be related to Pig, Laundry, Will through some interpretation so the deciding factor will be Harmonize ( good vocab will work here ) So Harmonize and Iron out both are synonyms of Agree.. hence we get our relation SO we will have to concentrate on these things to get better at this : 1 ) adjoining words 2 ) Idioms and phrases 3 ) relating a word with its qualities which cannot be challenged ( like Sun with warm ). 4 ) Well known Proverbs.. e.g. A stitch in time saves nine..
