Analogy Explanation: Thin to Ninth

The relationship between the words 'Thin' and 'Ninth' is based on letter manipulation.

• 'Thin' contains the letters T, H, I, N.
• 'Ninth' contains the letters N, I, N, T, H.
• Observing the letters, 'Ninth' is formed by rearranging the letters of 'Thin' and adding an extra letter 'N'.

Pattern Identification

The identified pattern involves rearranging the letters of the first word and adding a specific extra letter to form the second word.

Applying the Pattern to Hole

We need to apply this same pattern to find the word related to 'Hole'.

The word 'Hole' consists of the letters H, O, L, E.

Let's analyze the given options based on the pattern:

• Option 1: Hell (H, E, L, L) - Rearranges some letters but does not follow the 'Hole + extra letter' pattern.
• Option 2: Hello (H, E, L, L, O) - This word uses the letters H, O, L, E from 'Hole' and adds an extra 'L'. This perfectly matches the pattern identified from 'Thin' to 'Ninth'.
• Option 3: Loo (L, O, O) - Does not use the letters from 'Hole' correctly or add a single letter.
• Option 4: Heel (H, E, E, L) - Does not use the letters from 'Hole' correctly or add a single letter.

Conclusion

By applying the pattern of rearranging the letters of 'Hole' (H, O, L, E) and adding an extra 'L', we arrive at the word 'Hello'.

Therefore, the analogy is completed as Hole : Hello.
