1 and 3 are right. I don't know about 2.
If you consider that bats can fly, but raccoons can't, then 2.C . is correct.
Is it d?
To find the answer to the analogy questions, we need to identify the relationship between the given pairs of words and then find the pair that shares the same relationship.
1. Thyme: herb::
The word "thyme" is the name of a herb. The correct analogy would be a pair where the first term is a specific example of the second term. Looking at the answer choices, "sedan" is not an example of "auto" because a sedan is a type of auto, not the other way around. "Fearless" is not an example of "brave" because fearless means without fear, but brave means showing courage. "Speech" is not an example of "mouth" because speech is the act of verbal expression, while mouth is the physical part of the body. Finally, "auto" is an example of "garage" because an auto can be stored or parked in a garage. Therefore, the correct answer is D. Auto: garage.
2. Bat: raccoon::
The word "bat" is a type of animal, specifically a mammal. The correct analogy would be a pair where the first term is a type or class of the second term. Looking at the answer choices, "bird" is not a type of "robin" because a robin is a type of bird. "Insect" is not a type of "snake" because a snake is a type of reptile. "Owl" is not a type of "possum" because a possum is a type of marsupial. Finally, "porpoise" is a type of "whale" because both are marine mammals. Therefore, the correct answer is D. Porpoise: whale.
3. Penny: coin
The word "penny" is a type of coin, specifically a unit of currency. The correct analogy would be a pair where the first term is a specific example of the second term. Looking at the answer choices, "dollar" is not an example of "pound" because both are units of currency, not one being a specific example of the other. "Whisper" is not an example of "speak" because whispering is a specific way of speaking, not an example of speaking itself. "Epic" is not an example of "poem" because an epic is a genre or type of poem. Finally, "read" is not an example of "write" because they are two separate actions related to language. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Dollar: pound.
So, the correct answers are:
1. D. Auto: garage
2. D. Porpoise: whale
3. A. Dollar: pound
