Example Question #61 : Ssat Elementary Level Verbal
Complete this analogy.
Sail is to boat as drive is to __________.
Possible Answers:
Car
Water
Fly
River
Road
Correct answer:
Car
Explanation:
"Sail" can be used as either a noun or a verb, so we need to figure out in which word form it is being used. As a noun, "sail" means a part of a boat which catches the wind and propels the boat through the water. However, "drive" is a verb, not a noun, so it cannot represent a part of any of the answer choices. So, "sail" must be being used as a verb that means to travel in a boat. When you sail, you travel by boat. So, to solve this analogy, you have to figure out what vehicle you use when you go driving. The answer is a “car.”
