Question: 325

8. Beaker is to chemist as hammer is to

  • A. nails
  • B. geologist
  • C. construction
  • D. architect

Correct Answer: B

Explanation:

The correct answer is (B). The relationship is that of worker to tool. A chemist uses a beaker in the laboratory; a geologist uses a hammer to chip at rocks in the field or laboratory. Avoid the "trap" of choice (C). A hammer is certainly used in construction, but the relationship of the first two terms requires that a person be involved to complete the analogy.
