Question: 423

13. Breeze is to hurricane as

  • A. warmth is to coldness
  • B. swirl is to maelstrom
  • C. day is to week
  • D. downpour is to drizzle

Correct Answer: B

Explanation:

B

A breeze is a very light version of a hurricane. A swirl is a very light version of a maelstrom.

If you don't know the meaning of maelstrom, use process of elimination. Warmth is not a very light version of coldness, day is not a very light version of week, downpour is not a very light version of drizzle, and gold is not a very light version of silver, so eliminate (A), (C), (D), and (E).
