Question: 499

12. Husk is to corn as

  • A. shell is to nut
  • B. stem is to apple
  • C. egg is to yolk
  • D. sunflower is to seed

Correct Answer: A

Explanation:

A is correct. The relationship presented in this sequence is one of part to whole; however, this analogy goes a step further, and you will need to discern how in order to arrive at the correct answer. The husk is the outer covering of an ear of corn just as a shell is the outer covering of a nut. Therefore, choice A is correct. No other option presents this type of part-to-whole relationship.
