General Intelligence Analogy (Verbal) Analogy (Verbal) Question #8046 (CAT-I)

Choose the pair that best represents a similar relationship to the one expressed in the original pair: THERMOMETER : TEMPERATURE ::

A SCALE : WEIGHT
B CLOCK : TIME
C CALIPER : THICKNESS
D ODOMETER : SPEED
Correct Answer & Explanation
Option B
• The relationship between THERMOMETER and TEMPERATURE is that a THERMOMETER is an instrument used to measure TEMPERATURE. • Similarly, a CLOCK is an instrument used to measure TIME. • A scale measures weight, but 'clock : time' is a more direct analogy for a device measuring a fundamental quantity. • A caliper measures thickness, but 'clock : time' is a more common and direct analogy. • An odometer measures distance, not speed. A speedometer measures speed.
