Method: 

The form is A : B : : C : D

Generalize the Similarity & Difference  between A & B

In Fish & Whale

Similarity is that both can stay under water viz. Habitat

Difference is biological class Fish= Pisces  Whale = Mammal

Similarity between A & B Is made a difference between A & C

Here Under-water=> In the Air

Difference between A & B is made Similarity between B & D

Here Non-Mammal => Mammal

B & D Must be Both Mammals Therefore Keyword is Mammal

Now Difference between A & C is Habitat (Underwater: Flying in Air)

Therefore D has to be a Flying Mammal = Bat

 True& False Oxymorons Quest

Oxymoron is a figure of speech wherein the literal meaning amounts to logical contradiction. However slightly shifted suggestive meaning (Lakshnaarth) is not a logical contradiction but contains subtle truth in it with some humor.

False Oxymoron is not a logical contradiction even if taken literally. Find out as to which of the following are true oxymorons & which are false.

Example False Oxymoron: ‘Standard Table of Random Numbers’ appears logical contradiction. However such thing actually exists. It is stipulated to use it for sample selection in surveys.

Example of proper oxymoron: ‘Original Copy’, the original document is not a copy but as its comes along with set of copies it gets this funny name.

Please note that rhetoric suggestions like ‘Clean Politician’, ‘Collective responsibility’, ‘Humble IITian’, ‘Listening Husband’ are not included.

 addendum.

2.     ‘Dead-Load/ Live-load’ If dead bodies are stored will it be

Dead-load?

3.     ‘Load-Bearing-Structure’: Every structure bears its own load

4.     Survival of the Fittest: Do ‘lesser fit’ not survive?

5.     Hydrogen Bomb: Will ordinary Hydrogen atoms fuse & release

huge energy?

6.     Jig-Saw-Puzzle: Does it require a jig-saw to produce it?

7.     Civil Engineering: Is any non-military engineering, Civil?

8.     Specific Gravity: Does this talk about Gravity?

9.     False Ceiling: What is false about it?

Answers

1)  Find proper adjectives to be used in blank spaces to make sentences  

   Meaningful

     Exceedingly Viscous Liquid is Solid

     Exceedingly Malleable Solid is Liquid

     Exceedingly  elongated ellipse orbit Planet is Comet

2) Following terms are misnomers for reasons given along with them

        Find correct term for each

A)   ‘Strength of Materials’ in which actual values of strengths is a mere  

addendum. Stress-Geometry

B)   ‘Dead-Load/ Live-load’ If dead bodies are stored will it be Dead-load?

        Any addable/removable load is ‘live’ it does not come in self-weight

C)   ‘Load-Bearing-Structure’: Every structure bears its own load

        ‘Wall Borne Structure’ is proper term for ‘load bearing’ Otherwise it   

     may be ‘Frame Borne’ & not ‘Wall Borne’

  D) Survival of the Fittest: Do ‘lesser fit’ not survive? 

        Lesser fit do survive.   

        Proper term should have been Elimination of the Vulnerablest

  E) Hydrogen Bomb: Will ordinary Hydrogen atoms fuse & release huge  

       energy?

    In fact it is Deuterium-Bomb which is artificially made isotope  

    of hydrogen

  F) Jig-Saw-Puzzle: Does it require a jig-saw to produce it?

    Nowadays it is press-cut in full piece. Its essential definition would be   

   “Different odd shapes can feel a plane rectangle if each piece comes at its   

   unique position”

 G) Civil Engineering: Is any non-military engineering, Civil?

       Construction Engineering would be proper term

 H) Specific Gravity: Does this talk about Gravity?

      No! Relative Density vis-à-vis Water

  I) False Ceiling: What is false about it?

       Qua Ceiling it is true. It is false qua Slab
