Question Details

Read the passage given below and answer the questions (91 - 99 ) that follow :

1. Colours have a deeper significance for a home than one can imagine. For if used right, they can give a perfect look. In today’s time, when there is an abundance of everything but space, colour plays an important role in creating the right ambience and perhaps the space that you crave for. Besides having a tremendous potential to create mood through sheer appeal to the senses, right use of colours actually helps you create the spacious feeling.

2. For instance, instead of using a plain monotonous colour on all four walls, if you get a little imaginative, perhaps a little bold, you can create a sense of space within those four walls. One of the ways would be to blend light and dark colours. Or to paint two opposite sides in a lighter shade than the other two. Colour can add height to your room too. For instance, if the room is painted white and the upholstery of your furniture is in deep blue tone, the false ceilings could be painted in a light blue shade. Think out of the box to give even more interesting effects to your room.

3. Whatever your choice is, there are options in the market to help you realise your needs. These days you get special patterned stencils to decorate walls with interesting patterns like flowers, leaves, birds etc. Some people draw an entire scenery on one side of the wall to give the feeling of bringing the outdoors inside. The choices are many, so are the creative ways. Just let your imagination flow. Every room reflects the personality of the occupant, hence it is important to pay attention to every detail. Your walls are your canvases, freshly painted and all bare. Go ahead, splash colours and watch the effect unfold.

Step-by-step Explanation:

1. Analyze the Given Analogy:
The analogy is structured as:
monotonous : dull :: ambience : ?
This means we need to identify the relationship between the first pair of words ("monotonous" and "dull") and apply the exact same relationship to find the word corresponding to "ambience".

2. Determine the Relationship:
"Monotonous" means lacking in variety, repetitive, or boring, which makes it a synonym of "dull". Therefore, the relationship established between the words is one of synonyms.

3. Apply the Relationship to "Ambience":
"Ambience" refers to the character, mood, atmosphere, or pervasive tone of a environment or place. Looking at the context of the passage ("colour plays an important role in creating the right ambience..."), "ambience" means the distinctive atmosphere or vibe of a space.

4. Evaluate the Options:
weather: Refers to atmospheric conditions like rain or temperature, not synonymous with ambience.
room: Refers to a physical space, not its atmosphere or mood.
temperature: Refers to heat or coldness, not atmosphere.
aura: Refers to the distinctive atmosphere, quality, or feel generated by a person, thing, or place. This is a direct synonym of "ambience".

Hence, "ambience" relates to "aura" just as "monotonous" relates to "dull".
