Example Question #11 : Tool/Use, User/Tool, Product/Producer, And Subject/Object

Complete the analogy.

Musician is to song as artist is to __________.

Possible Answers:

entertainment

book

sculpture

creator

stage

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.

clothes

Explanation:

Baker is to bread as ______________.

Possible Answers:

chef is to flowers

police officer is to coffee

architect is to house

gardener is to jail

Correct answer:

architect is to house

Explanation:
