Question: 537

5. Engine is to jet as paddle is to

  • A. swim
  • B. reprimand
  • C. ball
  • D. boat

Correct Answer: D

Explanation:

D is correct. This is a part-to-whole analogy. An engine propels a jet just as a paddle propels a boat. An ottermay also use its tail as a paddle to navigate; however, both a jet and a boat are vehicles while an otter is an animal. This distinction makes boat a better answer than otter.
