Question

leg : tripod ::
a) words :: books
b) stand :: dictionary
c) act :: play
d) furniture :: store

actually act isn't another word for play, it is a part of a play...thanks for trying though lol

Answer 1

The answer is C

Think of it in reverse. Instead of thinking a leg is a part of a tripod, think of a tripod without the legs.

If you take away the legs of a tripod, what do you have? Nothing.

If you take away the words from a book, what do you have? Still have an empty book.

If you take away the stand from a dictionary, what do you have? A dictionary sitting on the floor.

If you take away the act or acts from a play, what do you have? Nothing.

If you take away the furniture from the store, what do you have? An empty store.

Answer C is the only one where, like the tripod comparison, if you remove the first item from the second item you aren't still left with a functional object.

Answer 2

(c) leg:tripod :: act:play

legs make up a tripod (3 legs anyways)
and acts make up a play.

think about the relationship the two words have to each other and try to find another set of words that have the same similarities.

Answer 3

C--A leg is a one-third part of a tripod, an act is a (usually) one-third part of a play.

Answer 4

you answered your own question.... a leg is a part of a tripod as an act is a part of a play.

Answer 5

A. Books have words, tripods have legs.

Not C because a play can have just one act.
