Hello, please check these analogies that I've listed:
1.) Platoon : soldier :: Team : _Player_.
2.) Spaghetti : pasta :: Ketchup : _condiment/sauce_ (Which one? I was given both of those choices to choose one from.)
3.) son : nuclear :: ______ : extended. (*I need help for this)
a. father
b. mother
c. cousin
d. daughters
THANK YOU, Writeacher.
1. Yes
2. Condiment
3. Look up the meanings of ‘nuclear family’ and ‘extended family,’ and you should get it.
Actually, after some further research, I think C because cousins are not in the nuclear family (i.e. mom, dad, son, daughter) and instead in the extended family I believe (i.e. aunt, uncle, cousin, niece, nephew)
Is this correct?
Yes
Sure! I can help. Let's break down each analogy and find the correct answer.
1.) Platoon : soldier :: Team : ?
To solve this analogy, we need to determine the relationship between the first pair of words and find a similar relationship for the second pair. In this case, a platoon is a group of soldiers, so the relationship is that a platoon is a collective term for a group of soldiers. Similarly, a team is a collective term for a group of players. Therefore, the answer is "Player."
2.) Spaghetti : pasta :: Ketchup : ?
To solve this analogy, we need to identify the category to which the first word belongs and find a word in the same category for the second word. Spaghetti is a type of pasta, so the relationship is that spaghetti is a specific type of pasta. Similarly, ketchup is a specific type of condiment or sauce. Therefore, the answer could be either "condiment" or "sauce." Both are correct in this case, as ketchup can be referred to as either a condiment or a sauce.
3.) son : nuclear :: ? : extended.
To solve this analogy, we need to understand the relationship between the first pair of words and find a similar relationship for the second pair. In this case, "son" is a term used in the context of a nuclear family, which typically consists of parents and their children. The relationship here is that a son is a member of a nuclear family. So, we need to find a word that represents a member of an extended family. Among the given options, "cousin" is the most suitable, as cousins are typically considered part of an extended family. Therefore, the answer is "c. cousin."
I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.
