Analogy: Foot is to ____ as Hand is to Wrist. Choose the anatomical part adjacent to the foot, mirroring hand–wrist adjacency.

Introduction / Context:
Anatomical analogies map body parts by adjacency or joint connections. The wrist connects the hand to the forearm. We must find the part that connects the foot to the leg.

Given Data / Assumptions:

• Hand ↔ Wrist ↔ Forearm.
• Foot ↔ ? ↔ Leg.
• Standard human anatomy.

Concept / Approach:
The ankle is the joint connecting the foot to the leg (tibia/fibula). Thus “foot : ankle” parallels “hand : wrist.”

Step-by-Step Solution:
Identify relation: distal part to connecting joint.Hand : wrist ⇒ Foot : ankle.Eliminate non-joint distractors (shoe is external object; length is a measurement; leg is the proximal limb rather than the connecting joint).

Verification / Alternative check:
Functional equivalence: both wrist and ankle are complex joints enabling movement between distal and proximal segments.

Why Other Options Are Wrong:
Shoe/length are not anatomical; leg is not the connector but the proximal segment itself.

Common Pitfalls:
Picking “leg” due to proximity; the pattern calls for the articulating joint.

Final Answer:
Ankle.
