पर्याय

• Shred: Wool

• Cave: Stone

• Chip: Glass

• Blades: Grass

Answer 1

Blades: Grass

Explanation:

The relation between ‘a grain of salt’ and ‘a chip of glass’ is that these are the smallest possible quantities by which the salt and glass can be described. Though ‘a blade of grass’ and ‘a shred of wool’ also make sense but these can be further broken down unlike ‘a grain of salt’ and ‘a chip of glass’.
