Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
To solve this analogy, we must first identify the relationship between the two terms given in the example: Temperature : Thermometer.
Step-by-Step Analysis
Analyze the Relationship: A "Thermometer" is an instrument used to measure "Temperature". The relationship is Measurement : Instrument used to measure it.
Evaluate the Options:
Option 1 (Water : Milk): This is a relationship of substances, not measurement.
Option 2 (Length : Scale): A "Scale" (or ruler) is an instrument used to measure "Length". This follows the Measurement : Instrument relationship perfectly.
Option 3 (Bank : Money): A bank is a place where money is stored. This is not a measurement relationship.
Option 4 (Height : Barometer): A barometer is used to measure atmospheric pressure, not height (an altimeter is used for height). Even if it were a measuring relationship, the pairing is technically incorrect.
