Analogy Reasoning: Chips to Potatoes, Soda to ?

This question presents a word analogy and requires identifying the relationship between the first pair of words to find the relationship for the second pair.

Understanding the Core Relationship

• The first pair is Chips : Potatoes. The relationship here is that Chips are a food product primarily made from Potatoes. Potatoes are the main ingredient.

Applying the Relationship to Soda

• The second pair is Soda : ?. We need to find a word that relates to Soda in the same way Potatoes relate to Chips. This means we are looking for the primary base ingredient or component of Soda.
• Let's examine the options:
  • Fizz: Fizz (carbonation) is a characteristic of soda, not its primary ingredient.
  • Bottle: A bottle is a container for soda, not an ingredient.
  • Lemon: Lemon can be a flavor for soda, but it is not the main base ingredient for all sodas.
  • Water: Water is the principal base liquid used in the production of most sodas. Carbonated water is fundamental to soda.
• Therefore, Water is the most fitting component analogous to Potatoes in the context of Soda.

Conclusion

The relationship is "Product : Main Ingredient". Chips are made from Potatoes. Soda is primarily made from Water.

The correct answer is Water.
