Attempted by 127 students.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Answer: magnetism : attraction
Explanation: Both gravity and magnetism are physical forces. 'Pull' and 'attraction' describe the effects produced by those forces (objects being drawn together). Therefore the correct pair is the one that shows a force and the effect that force produces.
Gravity — a force that causes masses to be drawn toward each other; described here by the effect 'pull'.
Magnetism — a force produced by magnetic fields that causes magnetic materials or moving charges to be drawn together (or repelled); described here by the effect 'attraction'.
Why the other pairs do not match:
iron : metal — an example-to-category relationship (iron is a type of metal), not a force producing an effect.
north pole : directions — a location-to-category relationship, not a force-and-effect relationship.
dust : desert — an association or location relationship (dust is common in deserts), not a force producing an effect.
