Complete the word analogy :

cluster : bunch : : puny : ?

  • A.delicate
  • B.colourful
  • C.prickly
  • D.long-stalked

Answer: A

The pair is completed by delicate.

'Cluster' and 'bunch' are synonyms, both a group of similar things together. The second pair must also be a word and its near-synonym. 'Puny' means small and weak, and of the options 'delicate', meaning fragile or easily damaged, is the closest in meaning.

'Colourful', 'prickly' and 'long-stalked' describe appearance or form and have nothing to do with being small and weak, so they do not keep the synonym relationship.
