Verbal AptitudeThe analogy relates two words with synonymous meanings:
Here, *Often* and *Frequently* are synonyms. Similarly, for *Kind*, the noun meaning relates to category or sort, which is synonymous with Type.
However, due to potential ambiguity regarding parts of speech and word senses (such as adjective *kind* vs. *kindly* or noun *kind* vs. *type*), this question was marked as MTA (Marks to All) in the official answer key.
