Question: 358
11. Buttress is to support as
- A. door is to jamb
- B. nest is to freedom
- C. sloop is to marina
- D. placemat is to table
Correct Answer: E
Explanation:
The answer is E
A buttress provides support. Food provides nourishment.
If you don't know the meaning of buttress, work backwards. Nest and freedom are not by definition related, so eliminate choice (B). A jamb is part of a door. Could support be part of something? Probably not, so eliminate choice (A). A marina (boat dock) is a home for a sloop (a type of boat). Could support be a home for something? No, so eliminate choice (C). A placemat protects a table. Could something protect support? Probably not, so eliminate choice (D). Food provides nourishment, and something can provide support.
