Dock is to what? As park is to garage
To determine the relationship between the given words, let's break down the first analogy:
dock is to what as park is to garage?
In this analogy, the word "dock" has a relationship with another word in the same way as "park" has a relationship with "garage."
A dock is a place where boats or ships are parked, or we can say that a dock is a parking space for boats. Similarly, a park is a place where cars can be parked, or we can say that a park is a parking space for cars.
Therefore, the relationship is that both "dock" and "park" are spaces where different types of vehicles can be parked. In this case, the missing word is "garage," which is similar to a park but specifically designed as a parking space for cars.
Now, let's move on to the second analogy:
open is to close as retreat is to what?
In this analogy, the word "open" has a relationship with another word in the same way as "close" has a relationship with another word.
The word "open" is the opposite of "close." When we "open" something, it becomes accessible, visible, or free to use. When we "close" something, the opposite occurs: it becomes inaccessible, hidden, or restricted.
Now, let's apply this relationship to the word "retreat." A "retreat" is a place where people withdraw or move away from a stressful or busy environment. To find the word that has a similar relationship with "retreat" as "open" and "close" have, we can look for a word that represents the opposite action or concept of "retreat." In this case, the opposite of "retreat" is to "advance" or "move forward."
Therefore, the missing word is "advance" or "move forward," as it is the opposite action of "retreat" in the analogy.
