8. Claw is to lobster as

  • A. callous is to hand
  • B. paw is to bear
  • C. tail is to monkey
  • D. ink is to octopus

Correct Answer: B

Explanation:

B is correct. This is a part-to-whole analogy. However, in order to arrive at the correct answer, you will have to take the comparison to a second step. A lobster has a claw for a hand just as a bear has a paw for a hand. No other choice provides a similar comparison.
