Example Question #76 : Ssat Middle Level Verbal
Complete this analogy.
Subterranean is to __________ as airborne is to eagle.
Possible Answers:
dinosaur
worm
cow
swim
fly
Correct answer:
worm
Explanation:
An "eagle" is an example of an "airborne" (in the air, flying) creature. So, to solve this analogy you need to determine which of these is a "subterranean" creature. Well, to solve this you obviously need to know what "subterranean" means. There are two relevant roots in the word to consider: First, sub- means below, beneath, under and second, terra- means Earth. So, "subterranean" means below the Earth. Which of these creatures lives "below the Earth?" A "worm."
