Question: 525

8. Clock is to time as:

  • A. Ruler is to length
  • B. Jet is to speed
  • C. Alarm is to sleep
  • D. Drum is to beat

Correct Answer: A

Explanation:

The relationship in the first half of the analogy is that clocks are used to measure time. The second half of the analogy should have a tool that is used to measure something followed by what it measures. Rulers can be used to measure length. So Choice A is the best choice. Remember that the key to solving analogies is to be a good detective. Some of the other answer choices are related to clocks and time but not to the relationship between clocks and time.
