Ceiling is to floor as sky is to ___________________.

The ceiling is the upper limit of a room and the floor is the lower limit of a room. Since the sky is the upper limit of our environment, our answer must be the lower limit. The ground is the lower limit of our environment, therefore "ground" is the correct answer.
Example Question #65 : Measurement, Storage, Location, And Material Composition

Daughter is to mother as ________________ is to father.

Since the relationship between daughter and mother is a same-gender child-parent relationship, we must find the answer that completes the same-gender child-parent relationship where the parent is the father. Since a son is a male-gender child and a father is a male-gender parent, the correct answer is "son."
