Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: E

Concept

An analogy identifies the same relationship in two pairs. First determine the relationship from the first pair, then apply that relationship to the second pair.

Application

Glass is manufactured from sand. The relation is product to raw material. Paper is manufactured mainly from wood pulp, so wood is the corresponding raw material.

Contrast

Contrast the offered values:

  • Mirror is a finished object commonly made using glass; it represents a product-to-component relation.

  • Stone is a natural mineral material commonly used as construction material; it is not the source material of ordinary paper.

  • Window is an architectural opening or assembly that may contain glass; it represents a whole-to-component relation.

  • More than one of the above would require at least two listed values to be raw materials for paper.

  • None of the above applies because the required value, wood, is not listed.

Cross-check

Cross-check: sand can be processed into glass, and wood pulp can be processed into paper. The same product-to-raw-material relationship holds in both pairs.

Result

Therefore, the answer is None of the above.
