Complete the analogy
Bird : Ornithology ::____________:______________
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
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).
