Complete this analogy.
Ovary is to reproduction as __________ is to categorization.
Possible Answers:
phylum
asylum
doleful
embezzle
sinecure
Correct answer:
phylum
Explanation:
An "ovary" is a female reproductive organ. So, an "ovary" is involved with "reproduction." What is a "phylum" involved with? Well, a "phylum" is a classification group for organizing species of animals. So, it is involved in "categorization." Additionally, an "asylum" is a sanctuary, a safe house; a "sinecure" is an easy job; "embezzle" means steal money from somewhere one works or is trusted; "doleful" means miserable and disconsolate, feeling hopeless.
