Question

1. which word set completes the analogy? sailboat : sail :: flagstaff : flag gloves : hands door : knob kite : fly

Explanation:

To solve the analogy, we first identify the relationship in "sailboat : sail". A sail is a part (or a component that enables function) of a sailboat. Now we analyze each option:

• "flagstaff : flag": A flag is a part (or component) of a flagstaff setup (the flagstaff holds the flag, and the flag is a key component related to the flagstaff's purpose, similar to how a sail is a key component of a sailboat).
• "gloves : hands": Gloves are worn on hands, they are not a part of hands but an accessory for hands, so the relationship is different.
• "door : knob": A knob is a part of a door, but the order is reversed (knob is part of door, while in the original analogy, the second term is part of the first).
• "kite : fly": "Fly" is an action of a kite, not a part - whole relationship.

So the relationship in "flagstaff : flag" matches the part - whole (or component - object) relationship of "sailboat : sail".

Answer:

A. flagstaff : flag
