Red Stop Yellow Analogy Breakdown

This question tests your ability to identify relationships between words, specifically using an analogy format often seen in reasoning tests.

The structure is A : B :: C : ?

We need to find the relationship between 'Red' (A) and 'Stop' (B) and apply that same relationship to find the word related to 'Yellow' (C).

Analogy Identification

  • Red is commonly associated with the instruction to Stop, particularly in the context of traffic signals.

Applying the Relationship

  • Following the same logic, what instruction is associated with the color Yellow in traffic signals?
  • A yellow light typically means to prepare to stop or to proceed with caution, often interpreted as a signal to Wait for the next light or clear the intersection.

Matching with Options

  • Option 1: Wait - This matches the derived meaning for Yellow in the context of traffic signals.
  • Option 2: Go - This is associated with Green.
  • Option 3: Move back - Not related.
  • Option 4: Swim - Not related.

Therefore, the word that relates to 'Yellow' in the same way 'Stop' relates to 'Red' is 'Wait'.
