Car is to road as ship is to ____.

This is asking you to complete an analogy by identifying the relationship between the first pair of words and applying it to the second pair.

The relationship is: A car travels on a road

Therefore, we need to find what a ship travels on.

Options

Looking at the images provided:

• Option a: Shows a road/highway - This is where cars travel, not ships
• Option b: Shows sky with clouds - This is where airplanes travel
• Option c: Shows an ocean/sea with an island - This is where ships travel
• Option d: Shows a street with buildings - This is another type of road for vehicles

Correct Answer: C (Ocean/Sea)

Explanation: Just as a car uses a road as its medium of travel, a ship uses the sea or ocean as its medium of travel. The analogy compares the vehicle to its natural traveling environment or surface.

The complete analogy would read: "Car is to road as ship is to sea/ocean"

This is a classic relationship analogy testing your understanding of how different vehicles relate to their appropriate travel surfaces or mediums.
