Contemporary : Historic :: _____ : Ancient
Analogy Logic
This question presents an analogy based on the relationship between time periods. We need to find the word that relates to Ancient in the same way Contemporary relates to Historic.
- Contemporary means relating to the present or recent times.
- Historic means famous or important in history, belonging to the past.
- The relationship is: Present/Recent time is to Past time.
Second Pair Analysis
The second part of the analogy is _____ : Ancient.
- Ancient refers to a period extremely long ago, the distant past.
- We need a word that represents the 'Present/Recent' aspect to contrast with the 'Distant Past' (Ancient).
Option Evaluation
Evaluating the given options to find the best fit for the blank:
- Past: While Ancient things are in the past, 'Past' is too general and doesn't provide the specific contrast needed (Present/Recent vs. Distant Past).
- Classic: Refers to something enduring or of recognized value from the past, not a temporal opposite.
- Modern: Refers to the current or recent period. Modern directly contrasts with Ancient (e.g., Modern history vs. Ancient history). This fits the required relationship.
- Future: Refers to time yet to come, the opposite of the past, not the present/recent time needed for the analogy.
Conclusion
The word Modern best completes the analogy because it represents the present/recent time, mirroring the relationship of Contemporary to Historic, and contrasting effectively with Ancient.
Therefore, the completed analogy is: Contemporary : Historic :: Modern : Ancient.
