Analogy Reasoning: Color to Rainbow

The question presents an analogy task. We need to identify the relationship between the first pair of words and find the second pair that exhibits the same relationship.

Initial Pair Analysis

The first pair is Color : Rainbow.

• A Rainbow is a meteorological phenomenon that is visually composed of a spectrum of light.
• Colors are the fundamental components or elements that make up a Rainbow. The relationship is one of composition: a rainbow consists of colors.

Evaluating Alternatives

Let's examine the relationship in each option:

• Food : Grains: Grains are a specific type of food. This is a category-member relationship, not a composition relationship.
• Army : Post: A military post is a location where an army might be stationed. This is a location or association relationship, not composition.
• Galaxies : Universe: The Universe encompasses and is composed of numerous Galaxies. This mirrors the relationship where colors constitute a rainbow. Galaxies are the components within the universe.
• Thief : Jail: A jail is a place where a thief might be imprisoned. This represents a consequence or location, not a composition.

Conclusion

The relationship in the pair Galaxies : Universe (the universe is composed of galaxies) is identical to the relationship in the pair Color : Rainbow (a rainbow is composed of colors). Therefore, this pair correctly completes the analogy.
