In the following question, select the related word pair from the given alternatives.
Red: Colour::?:?
Analogy Reasoning Explained
The question presents an analogy and asks to find a related word pair. The core task is to identify the relationship between the first pair ('Red: Colour') and apply it to find the matching pair among the options.
Relationship Identification
The relationship between Red and Colour is that 'Red' is a specific instance or type of 'Colour'. 'Colour' is the general category.
Analyzing Word Pair Options
We need to find an option where the first word is a specific type of the second word, mirroring the 'Red' is a type of 'Colour' relationship.
- Sun: Heat - The Sun produces heat, but 'Heat' is not a category that 'Sun' belongs to.
- Earth: Planet - 'Earth' is a specific planet, fitting the relationship where 'Earth' is a type of 'Planet'.
- Land: Solid - 'Land' is often solid, but 'Solid' describes a state or property, not a classification category like 'Colour'.
- Water: Drink - 'Water' is something that can be drunk, but 'Drink' is an action or category of consumables, not a classification for 'Water'.
Conclusion
Option B, 'Earth: Planet', perfectly matches the analogy established by 'Red: Colour' because 'Earth' is a specific example of a 'Planet', just as 'Red' is a specific example of a 'Colour'.
