Question: 476

4. Claw is to cat as

  • A. tail is to donkey
  • B. shell is to turtle
  • C. fang is to snake
  • D. talon is to eagle

Correct Answer: D

Explanation:

D is correct. At first, this stem may appear to be a simple part-to-whole analogy, but in order to arrive at the correct answer, you will have to take it a step further. Talon is the name given to the claw of a predatory animal. Therefore, the correct answer is that claw is to cat as talon is to eagle. Choice C may seem correct, but it would be difficult to argue that it is a better answer than choice D.
