Select the word that fits the analogy: Fuse : Fusion : : Use : _______ A. Usage B. User C. Uses D. Usion

GATE 2020 · General Aptitude · Word Pairs · easy

Answer: A. Usage

  1. Confirm the relationship in Fuse : Fusion: Fuse (verb) -> Fusion (noun); the suffix '-ion' creates an abstract noun indicating a process or state. The relationship is: verb -> abstract noun of the process.
  2. Find the equivalent noun for 'Use': A. Usage = noun indicating the act or manner of using (correct abstract noun). B. User = agent noun (person who uses), not a process noun. C. Uses = 3rd person singular verb or plural noun, not an abstract process noun. D. Usion = not a real word. Therefore A. Usage matches the pattern.
