Question

Select the related word from the given alternatives.

Branch : Plant :: Limb : ?

The correct answer is

Animal

Analogy Reasoning: Branch to Plant

This question tests your ability to identify relationships between words. The first pair, "Branch : Plant", establishes a relationship where a branch is a part of a plant (a whole).

Applying the Relationship

We need to find a word that has the same relationship with "Limb". A limb is typically understood as an appendage, like an arm or leg, which is a part of an animal (the whole).

Analyzing Options

  • Dog: While dogs have limbs, "Dog" represents a specific type of animal, not the general category.
  • Walk: This is an action, not a part of a whole.
  • Hand: A hand is a specific part of a limb, but "Limb" itself is the part related to the whole animal.
  • Animal: A limb is a part of an animal. This perfectly matches the "part-to-whole" relationship from the first pair.

Conclusion

Therefore, the word that completes the analogy "Branch : Plant :: Limb : ?" is "Animal", maintaining the part-to-whole relationship.
