Analogy — Comets : Meteors\nChoose the option that maintains “class : related members/phenomena” with correct taxonomy.

Difficulty: Easy

Correct Answer: None of these

Explanation:


Introduction / Context:
The pair “Comets : Meteors” parallels two distinct but related astronomical phenomena, not a class–member relation in a strict taxonomic sense. We must identify an option that mirrors an appropriate relation (closely related phenomena), or else conclude none fits adequately.


Given Data / Assumptions:

  • Comets and meteors are both celestial phenomena, but one is not the class of the other.
  • We look for similarly paired, non-taxonomic but related natural phenomena.


Concept / Approach:
Test each option for parallel structure (two peer phenomena of the same domain) rather than cause/effect, container/content, or attribute/behavior mismatches.


Step-by-Step Evaluation:

Books : Knowledge — object vs abstract content; not peer phenomena.Hawk : Crow — two birds (peers) but at species level; acceptable shape but domain is zoology not phenomena; the original pair are phenomena, not taxa.Stars : Fortune — idiomatic/astrology; not scientific peer phenomena.Reptiles : Crawl — class vs behavior; category mismatch.


Verification / Alternative check:
Since none captures “two peer natural phenomena” within the same scientific domain (like “earthquakes : volcanoes”), the best choice is “None of these.”


Why Other Options Are Wrong:

  • Books : Knowledge — container–content.
  • Hawk : Crow — two species; the original are event/phenomena types.
  • Stars : Fortune — metaphorical/astrology.
  • Reptiles : Crawl — class–behavior mismatch.


Common Pitfalls:
Accepting any two related nouns without checking relational parity (phenomenon ↔ phenomenon).


Final Answer:
None of these
