Question

cloud is to cumulus as ____.
a. barracuda is to fish
b. blouse is to trousers

Explanation:

The relationship between "cloud" and "cumulus" is that cumulus is a specific type of cloud. Now we analyze each option:

• Option A: Barracuda is a type of fish, but the order is reversed (specific to general) compared to the original relationship (general to specific).
• Option B: Blouse and trousers are different types of clothing, not a general - specific relationship.
• Option C: A colonel is a rank in the army, not a type of army.
• Option D: Ballet is a specific type of dance, which has the same general - specific relationship as cloud and cumulus.

Answer:

D. dance is to ballet
