Question

Select the word that fits the analogy: 

Build : Building :: Grow :_____

The correct answer is
Growth

The question presents an analogy and asks to find the word that completes the second pair based on the relationship in the first pair.

Analogy: Verb to Noun Form

The relationship between "Build" and "Building" needs to be identified and applied to "Grow".

Step 1: Analyze the First Pair

  • Build is a verb.
  • Building is the gerund or noun form derived from the verb "Build". It represents the act or the result of building.

Step 2: Apply the Relationship to the Second Pair

  • Grow is the verb.
  • We need to find the corresponding noun form that represents the act or result of growing, similar to how "Building" relates to "Build".

Step 3: Evaluate the Options

  • Option 1: Grown - This is the past participle of "grow".
  • Option 2: Grew - This is the simple past tense of "grow".
  • Option 3: Growth - This is the noun form representing the process or result of growing. This matches the relationship pattern (Verb : Noun Form).
  • Option 4: Growed - This is an incorrect verb form.

Step 4: Conclusion

The word "Growth" completes the analogy because it is the noun form of the verb "Grow", mirroring the relationship between "Build" (verb) and "Building" (noun form).
