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.
