Solution

The question is a type of analogy question often found on standardized tests. The format is A is to B as C is to what? In this case, "Incandescent" is to "Glowing" as what is to what?

The relationship between "Incandescent" and "Glowing" is that they are synonyms, or words that have the same or very similar meanings.

So, we need to find another pair of words in the options that are also synonyms.

  1. Boor : Oafish - These words are not synonyms. A "boor" is a rude or insensitive person, while "oafish" describes someone who is clumsy or stupid.

  2. Tedious : Bore - These words are not synonyms. "Tedious" describes something that is long, slow, or dull, while "bore" is a person who is dull and uninteresting.

  3. None of these - This is an option if none of the other pairs are synonyms.

  4. Indefatigable : Untiring - These words are synonyms. Both "indefatigable" and "untiring" describe someone who is persistently energetic or tireless.

  5. Flash : Flame - These words are not synonyms. A "flash" is a sudden burst of light or something that happens very quickly, while a "flame" is the visible, gaseous part of a fire.

So, the answer is "Indefatigable : Untiring" because these words have the same relationship as "Incandescent : Glowing" - they are synonyms.
