analogy

New York Mets: Baseball::_______:_________
I'm stuck Please help.
Thanks!

How about

Manchester United : Soccer

Hull KR : rugby

Pittsburgh Steelers : football

i.e. city:sport

It depends on what you think NYMets mean to baseball. I think they are overrated, so

NY Mets:Baseball::Dallas Cowboys:Football

These type of questions are often difficult and I always used to get them wrong due to too much lateral thinking!

The teacher might be thinking of

teams moving in 2009 so the other pair is another team moving in 2009.

or thinking a another pair founded in 1962

or another pair that has won the world series twice.

or another team that is three words

see what I mean!

I agree with Dr Russ....the perceived relationship of the NY Mets and Baseball affects the answer greatly.

How about this...

NY Mets: Baseball :: Maria Callas: Opera

That could be the answer if you think the NY Mets is the greatest thing that ever happened to baseball...(I am a longtime Callas fan).

I like

NY Mets: Baseball :: Pele: soccer
or

Univ. of Kentucky : Basketball
or

Andrew Lloyd Weber : theatre

To solve this analogy, we need to identify the relationship between "New York Mets" and "Baseball" and find a pair of terms that share a similar relationship.

The New York Mets is a professional baseball team, so the relationship between them is that the Mets are a specific example or a part of the larger category of baseball.

With that in mind, we can look for a pair of terms where one is a specific example or a part of the other.

One possible answer could be:

New York Mets: Baseball:: Los Angeles Lakers: Basketball

In this analogy, the Los Angeles Lakers is a specific professional basketball team, just like the New York Mets are a specific professional baseball team. And the larger category or context for both is basketball.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.
