Example Question #491 : Determining Meaning From Type Of Relationship
Complete this analogy.
Star is to constellation as _______________ is to class.
student
teacher
chalkboard
parent
principal
student
Since a star is a single unit that, when combined with other stars, forms a constellation, we need to find a single unit that, when combined with others, creates a whole class. Since many students make up a class, the correct answer would be "student." At first glance, the answer may appear to be teacher, as every class is led by a teacher, but a class is made up by a body of students and has only one or two teachers. In addition, a teacher is the head of the class but is not part of the class itself.

sidewalk
window
hosue

window
Since a mug is typically made of ceramic material, we need to find an object that is typically made of glass material. Windows are primarily made of glass, therefore the correct answer is "window."
