Hanger is to closet as tree is to
(A) forest.
(B) branch.
(C) bird.
(D) ground.
Branch
Forest
To find the correct analogy, let's analyze the relationship between "hanger" and "closet." A hanger is an object used to hold and organize clothes in a closet. Similarly, we are looking for an option that represents the relationship between a tree and another object or place.
Option (A) "forest" is a reasonable choice because a forest is a collection of trees, just as a closet is a collection of hangers. However, let's consider the other options to be thorough.
Option (B) "branch" is not a suitable choice because a branch is a part of a tree, not a place where a tree would typically be found.
Option (C) "bird" is unrelated to the relationship between a tree and another object or place. Therefore, it can be eliminated.
Option (D) "ground" doesn't represent a similar relationship to "hanger" and "closet." Considering the analogy, a tree doesn't have a direct relationship with the ground the way a hanger does with a closet.
Therefore, the correct answer is (A) "forest" because it represents the arrangement of trees, just as a closet represents the arrangement of hangers.
