What is the correct answer?

4

LYING : PERJURY : :

A. Statement : Testimony

B. Seeing : Observing

C. Taking : Stealing

D. Eating : Dining

Correct Answer :

A. Statement : Testimony


Perjury means the offence of wilfully telling an untruth or making a misrepresentation under oath. So the relationship between lying and perjury is one of degree or extent.
The correct relationship is in option (a), as testimony means a formal, written or spoken statement, especially one given in a court of law. Thus this also represents a degree relationship.
In all the other options, this relationship of degree doesnt exist. In (b), seeing and observing are distinct activities, in option (c), stealing is a form of taking, it doesnt tell the extent to which something is taken and similarly in option (d), dining means having dinner, which involves eating.
