Example Question #31 : Tool To Use Or Use To Tool

Complete this analogy.

Crayon is to coloring as ____________________.

Possible Answers:

pillow is to eating

knife is to cutting

hand is to foot

rain is to rainbow

marker is to galloping

Correct answer:

knife is to cutting

Explanation:

Since we "color" with "crayons," we are looking for an answer choice that includes a tool (e.g., crayon) and how it is used (e.g., coloring). The only answer choice that fits this criteria is "knife is to cutting" because we use knives to cut up food!
