question 10 of 30

choose a pair that is analogous to
temperature: flame

tornado: storm
freeze: cold
sea level: tide
wind: velocity
tropical: warm

Explanation:

Analyze the relationship in the given pair

A flame is characterized by having a high temperature, or a flame produces/possesses temperature as a key physical property (specifically, a high level of it). Alternatively, temperature is a dimension/measurement of which a flame is a prominent source or manifestation.

Evaluate the given options

• Tornado: Storm: A tornado is a specific type of storm (hyponymy/classification). This does not match the property-to-source relationship.
• Freeze: Cold: Freezing is a state associated with being cold, but "freeze" is a verb/noun representing a state, whereas "temperature" is a general physical dimension.
• Sea level: Tide: A tide is a periodic rise and fall of sea level, but sea level is a baseline measurement, not a direct property inherent to a tide in the same way temperature is to a flame.
• Wind: Velocity: Velocity is a fundamental physical property/measurement of wind. Just as a flame inherently possesses and is measured by temperature, wind inherently possesses and is measured by velocity.
• Tropical: Warm: Tropical is an adjective describing a climate that is warm. This is a descriptor-to-characteristic relationship.

Select the best matching analogy

The pair Wind: Velocity matches the relationship of Temperature: Flame because the first term is a physical property/measurement that characterizes the second term.

Answer:

• Tornado: Storm
• Freeze: Cold
• Sea level: Tide
• Wind: Velocity (Correct answer)
• Tropical: Warm
