1. Ocean: deserts
- A. Waves: Dust
- B. Waves: Dust
- C. Waves: Dust
- D. Waves: Dust
Answer: Option B
Explanation:
The correct analogy is 2. Waves: Sand Dunes. This is because the relationship between an ocean and its waves is analogous to the relationship between a desert and sand dunes; both are formed by the movement of wind over a surface (wind over water for waves, wind over sand for sand dunes).
- Ocean: Desert :: Waves: Sand Dunes: This option completes the analogy correctly.
- Waves: Dust: This is incorrect because while dust is found in deserts, the movement of wind over sand creates dunes, not just loose dust.
- Ocean: Ripples: This is incorrect because ripples are a type of wave, but "waves" is a broader term, just as "desert" is a broader term than "sand dunes".
- Waves: Sea: This is incorrect because a sea is an ocean, and the analogy is meant to draw a comparison between two different environments (ocean and desert) and their respective features.
