Analogy

Question:

Complete the analogy

Bird : Ornithology ::____________:______________

Options:

Zoology : Animal

Plant : Botany

Archaeology : Antiquity

Insects : Hydrology

Correct Answer:

Plant : Botany

Explanation:

The correct answer is OPTION 2 - Plant : Botany

The analogy shows the relationship between a category (Bird) and its study (Ornithology). Similarly, Plant is the category, and Botany is the study of plants.

The other options do not maintain the same relationship:

  • Zoology : Animal (Zoology is the study of animals, but the analogy format is not parallel with the first part).

  • Archaeology : Antiquity (Archaeology is the study of human history and prehistory, not specifically antiquity).

  • Insects : Hydrology (Hydrology is the study of water, not directly related to insects).
