Calculator: Calculations:: Scale:?
Analogy Reasoning: Tool and Function
This question requires identifying the relationship between the first pair of words and applying it to the second pair.
Identifying the Relationship:
- The word Calculator represents a tool.
- The word Calculations represents the primary function or action performed by that tool.
The relationship is: Tool :: Primary Function.
Applying the Relationship to 'Scale'
We need to find a word that represents the primary function of a Scale.
- Scale is a tool.
- Its primary function is to Measure weight or other quantities.
Evaluating the Options
- Option 1: Inches - This is a unit of measurement, not the function itself.
- Option 2: Centimeters - Also a unit of measurement.
- Option 3: Measure - This directly represents the function of a scale.
- Option 4: Steel - This is a material, not the function.
- Option 5: (Empty option) - Not relevant.
Therefore, the correct word to complete the analogy is Measure.
Conclusion: Calculator : Calculations :: Scale : Measure
Correct Answer: Option 3: Measure
