Question: 528

11. Wire is to electricity as:

  • A. Power is to lamp
  • B. Pipe is to water
  • C. Fire is to heat
  • D. Heat is to fire

Correct Answer: B

Explanation:

Wires are the medium that carry electricity, allowing the current to flow in a circuit. Pipes carry water in a similar fashion. So the best choice is B. You must be careful to not select Choice E, water is to pipe. This reverses the relationship between the two. Choices A, C, and D contain words that are related to one another but not in the same way as wires and electricity.
