The correct option that defines analogy is:
a comparison of two things based on a relationship between those two things.
To arrive at this answer, you can analyze the options and eliminate the incorrect ones:
- Option 1: "a word that has the opposite meaning of another word" is not the definition of analogy. It describes an antonym, which is a different linguistic concept.
- Option 3: "a relationship between words in which one is an item and the other is a category" does not capture the essence of analogy. It describes a different linguistic relationship known as a hypernymy-hyponymy relationship.
- Option 4: "something that happens as a result of something else" does not adequately define analogy. It describes a cause and effect relationship, which is unrelated to analogy.
After eliminating the incorrect options, you are left with the correct definition of analogy:
- Option 2: "a comparison of two things based on a relationship between those two things" correctly defines analogy. Analogies involve drawing similarities or parallels between two different entities or concepts to explain or illustrate a point.
