type your answer.

Explanation:

Question 7 (Analogy Completion)

To solve the analogy "aluminum : metal", we need to find a pair where the first term is a specific type of the second term.

• For "mathematics : numbers": Mathematics is about the study of numbers, but numbers are not a category that mathematics belongs to (mathematics is a field, numbers are objects of study).
• For "rain : season": Rain is a weather event, and a season is a time period; rain is not a type of season.
• For "limerick : poetry": A limerick is a specific type of poetry (a form of verse).
• For "water : thirst": Water is a solution to thirst, not a type of thirst.

So the correct pair is limerick (specific) : poetry (category).

The literary term for passing information by word of mouth is "oral tradition" or "word - of - mouth transmission". However, a more specific literary term that fits is "oral communication" or the term "oral" (in the context of oral literature, where information is passed orally). But the most precise term for passing information by word of mouth is "oral tradition" or simply "oral" (when referring to the mode of transmission). Another common term is "rumor" but that has a negative connotation. The standard literary term for passing information by word of mouth is "oral tradition" or "oral transmission".

Answer:

limerick : poetry
