Analogy

Question:

In the following question find out the alternative which will replace the question mark?
Country: State : : House : ?

Options:

Air

Car

Flower

Room

Correct Answer:

Room

Explanation:

The correct answer is OPTION 4 - ROOM

Country: State : : House : ROOM

The analogy is between a country and its state, and a house and its room. The state is a smaller unit of government within a country, and the room is a smaller unit within a house. So, the missing word must be the smallest unit within a house. Of the answer choices, only room fits this description.

The other answer choices are not relevant to the analogy. Air is the atmosphere around Earth, car is a vehicle, flower is a plant. None of these are smaller units within a house.
