Question

Glove : Hand :: Sock : ?

• A. Shoe
• B. Foot
• C. Head
• D. Leg

Hint:

For analogies, define the exact relationship between the first pair (e.g., glove is worn on hand). Apply the same relationship to the second pair and test each option to ensure it matches. Watch for distractors that are related but not precise (e.g., leg vs. foot).

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

In the analogy Glove : Hand, the relationship is that of clothing to the body part it covers. A glove is worn on a hand. Applying this same logic to the analogy Sock : ?, we need to identify the body part a sock covers.

1. Shoe: A shoe is an outer covering for the foot, not the item worn directly on the foot itself in this analogy.
2. Foot: A sock is worn directly on the foot, mirroring the glove-to-hand relationship.
3. Head: A sock is not worn on the head.
4. Leg: While the leg is part of the lower limb, a sock specifically covers the foot.

Thus, the correct completion of the analogy Sock : Foot is established because a sock is worn on a foot, directly analogous to a glove being worn on a hand.
