Example Questions

Example Question #442 : Analogies

Complete the analogy.

Musician is to song as artist is to __________.

Possible Answers:

stage

book

entertainment

sculpture

creator

Correct answer:

sculpture

Explanation:

A musician produces songs. The answer, then, is what an artist produces. There are many options for what an artist may produce, but the only one listed is "sculpture." This is a better option than either "book" or "entertainment." "Author" or "writer" would have been used for "book." "Entertainment" is not very specific, but the first example, "musician" and "songs," is very specific.

Complete this analogy.

Baker is to bread as ______________.

Possible Answers:

architect is to house

police officer is to coffee

time is to watch

gardener is to jail

chef is to flowers

Correct answer:

architect is to house

Explanation:
