Question

The word similar to HARMONY is:
A. Cemetery
B. Ceremony
C. Symmetry
D. Hierarchy

Answer 1

Hint: Harmony is formed by creating a tune of music by balancing the musical notes.

Complete Solution:
From the hint given to us, we know that harmony is formed by creating a tune of music which involves the balancing of musical notes. We can derive from the formation of the harmony that it is pleasing to the ears due to its balanced arrangement arising from the notes that are exactly similar to each other.
Cemetery is a place where the graves are placed. It is not something that is pleasing due to its arrangement. Hence, option A is not the correct answer.
Ceremony is a formal event or an occasion. It is not necessarily balanced in nature. Hence, option B is not the correct answer.
Symmetry is a balanced arrangement of something in a way that it pleases the eye due to a balanced arrangement. It arises due to the two visual parts being exactly similar to each other. We observe that there is a similarity in the nature of pleasing the sense organ through balance.

Hence, option C is possibly the correct answer.

Hierarchy is an arrangement in which one is marked according to their status or rank. It is not similar to harmony.
Hence, option D is not the correct answer.
After having observed and analysed all the given options, we can conclude that option C, symmetry is the correct answer.

Note: Both harmony and symmetry are nouns. Harmony is a way of arranging the musical notes in a pleasing manner, whereas, symmetry is about arranging the visual features in a way that it pleases the eye.
