Can you check my analogies?
1. Observatory: telescope::
A. Lavatory: hands
B. book: idea
C. Theory: scientist
D. Letter: alphabet
Is it b?
2. Twilight: dusk::
A. Dinner:lunch
B. marriage: children
C. Texture:touch
D. Dew: morning
Is it c?
3. Scene:act::
A. Play:cry
B. today: tomorrow
C. Watchful: vigil
D. Minute:hour
Is it d?
YOu have to understand there are no right answers to these, just the more common answers. I agree with your answers.
I agree with your answers.
To check your analogies, we can analyze the relationships between the given pairs and compare them to find the best match. Let's go through each question:
1. Observatory: telescope
In this analogy, the relationship between "observatory" and "telescope" is that an observatory is a place where a telescope is typically found. Similarly, we want to find the pair where one item is typically found in the other. Looking at the options:
A. Lavatory: hands - A lavatory is a place where you wash your hands, but it doesn't relate to telescope.
B. Book: idea - A book can contain ideas, but it doesn't necessarily relate to telescope.
C. Theory: scientist - A scientist may develop theories, but it doesn't directly relate to a telescope.
D. Letter: alphabet - A letter is a part of the alphabet, but it doesn't have a direct connection to telescope.
Based on this analysis, none of the options seem to have a strong relationship similar to "observatory: telescope." Therefore, there isn't a clear correct answer among the given options.
2. Twilight: dusk
The relationship between "twilight" and "dusk" is that twilight is the period of time just before dusk. To find the best pair, we need to identify a similar relationship in the answer choices:
A. Dinner: lunch - Dinner and lunch are both meal times, but they don't have a consistent temporal relationship.
B. Marriage: children - Marriage and children are related, but they don't have a specific temporal relationship like twilight and dusk.
C. Texture: touch - Texture can be perceived through touch, much like dusk can be perceived during twilight.
D. Dew: morning - Dew is commonly observed in the morning, similar to the relationship between dusk and twilight.
Based on the relationship analysis, option C seems to have the closest relationship to "twilight: dusk," so the answer is C.
3. Scene: act
The relationship between "scene" and "act" is that a scene is a part of an act within a play. To find the best pair, we need to identify a similar relationship in the answer choices:
A. Play: cry - A cry is not necessarily a part of a play.
B. Today: tomorrow - While tomorrow follows today, the relationship is not similar to "scene: act."
C. Watchful: vigil - Being watchful is a characteristic or state during a vigil, similar to how a scene is a part of an act.
D. Minute: hour - The relationship between minutes and hours is one of time measurement, but it does not resemble "scene: act."
Based on the relationship analysis, option C seems to have the closest relationship to "scene: act," so the answer is C.
Therefore, the answers to the analogies are:
1. None of the given options.
2. C - Texture: touch.
3. C - Watchful: vigil.
