Question: 397

3. Bowl is to tureen as cup is to

  • A. mug
  • B. catcher
  • C. pitcher
  • D. fondle

Correct Answer: C

Explanation:

The answer is C

A bowl is a small tureen. A cup is a small pitcher.

If you don't know the meaning of tureen, work backwards. Usually when one of the answer words is next to the stem pair rather than in the answer choices, there is only one possible defining relationship. Here, however, you can argue that cup relates to choices (A), (C), and (E), although (E) is particularly weak. In this case, you should guess between choices (A) and (C).
