Question: 473

1. Maple tree is to syrup as

  • A. coffee is to bean
  • B. orange is to juice
  • C. seed is to grass
  • D. chip is to chocolate

Correct Answer: B

Explanation:

B is correct. This is another type of food analogy that involves some knowledge on your part. To answer this question correctly, you will need to know that maple trees produce syrup in much the same way that oranges produce juice. That is, the product comes directly from the source. Of the choices, you should be able to conclude that coffee does not produce beans (choice A); a chip does not produce chocolate (choice D); and although wheat produces bread, bread does not come directly from this source. Similarly, choice C is incorrect because it is not a better answer than choice B. Both syrup and juice are consumed by people, while grass is typically not.
