Difficulty: Easy
Correct Answer: Arctic Ocean
Explanation:
Introduction / Context:
Analogy items in geography often map a place (country, island, or region) to a characteristic water body, range, or feature associated with it. The stem pairs 'England' with the 'Atlantic Ocean' because England lies along the eastern side of the North Atlantic via the broader maritime region surrounding the British Isles. We must extend the same place → adjacent ocean relationship to 'Greenland'.
Given Data / Assumptions:
Concept / Approach:
Follow the consistent mapping from the example: identify the principal oceanic body adjacent to the second place. While multiple seas may touch a coastline, we favor the primary ocean designation used in atlases and school geography. Greenland lies mostly within the Arctic region, with its northern and much of its surrounding waters categorized as the Arctic Ocean (alongside adjacent seas like Baffin Bay and Greenland Sea connecting to the Atlantic).
Step-by-Step Solution:
1) Confirm pattern: place → primary surrounding ocean.2) England → Atlantic Ocean (via adjoining seas of the Atlantic basin).3) Locate Greenland: high north; significant coastline opens onto Arctic waters.4) The principal ocean for Greenland is the Arctic Ocean.
Verification / Alternative check:
Standard maps show Greenland bordering the Arctic Ocean to the north and northeast and the Atlantic system to the southeast via the Greenland Sea. In such analogies, the dominant association for Greenland is the Arctic Ocean, matching the expected high-latitude mapping.
Why Other Options Are Wrong:
Common Pitfalls:
Confusing nearby seas that connect to multiple oceans. Always choose the principal oceanic category used in basic geography for the location.
Final Answer:
Arctic Ocean
