Question: 386
8. Whirlpool is to eddy as
- A. candor is to honesty
- B. tornado is to gust
- C. spat is to war
- D. cyclone is to water
Correct Answer: B
Explanation:
The answer is B
A whirlpool is a stronger version of an eddy (a small circular current of water). A tornado is a stronger version of a gust.
If you don't know the meaning of eddy, work backwards. Spat and war, cyclone and water, and freezer and cooler are not related by definition, so eliminate choices (C), (D), and (E). Candor is the same as honesty. Could a whirlpool be the same as something? Yes, so keep choice (A). A tornado is a stronger version of a gust. Could a whirlpool be a stronger version of something? Yes, so keep choice (B). Guess between choices (A) and (B). If you don't know candor, you would still guess between choices (A) and (B).
