Question: 498
11. Darkness is to light as
- A. garment is to dry
- B. color is to contrast
- C. gap is to hole
- D. calm is to quiet
Correct Answer: E
Explanation:
E is correct. This question provides another example of an analogy that tests your knowledge of contrasts of degrees. Darkness is the absence of light just as silence is the absence of sound. None of the other relationships offers a combination that defines one word by the absence of another; garment is not the absence of dry (choice A); color is not the absence of contrast (choice B); gap is not the absence of hole (C); and calm is not the absence of quiet (choice D).
