Question

Root is to Tree as Foundation is to ____?

This question was previously asked in
SSC Selection Post 2025 Graduate Level Question Paper (29-Aug-2025) (Shift 1)
The correct answer is

Building

The root lies at the bottom of a tree, holds it firmly in the ground and supports the whole tree.

In the same way, a foundation lies at the base of a building and supports the entire structure above it.

A wall, a roof or a house is not what a foundation supports as a whole in the same sense – the complete structure built on a foundation is the building.

Hence, Building.
