Step-by-step solution for: Analogies Worksheets - 15 Worksheets Library
Let's solve each of these part-whole analogies step by step. In a part-whole analogy, one item is a part of the other, just like how a "finger" is a part of a "hand."
---
- Lead is the *part* inside a pencil (though technically it's graphite).
- Similarly, filling is the *part* inside a tooth.
- So: Lead : Pencil :: Filling : Tooth
- ✔ Answer: Tooth
---
- The nucleus is the central part of an atom.
- The sun is the central part of a solar system.
- So: Nucleus : Atom :: Sun : Solar System
- ✔ Answer: Solar System
---
- A finger is a part of a hand.
- A toe is a part of a foot.
- So: Finger : Hand :: Toe : Foot
- ✔ Answer: Foot
---
- Stars make up galaxies (a galaxy contains many stars).
- Molecules make up compounds or substances, but more precisely, molecules are parts of cells or larger structures.
- However, in scientific terms, molecules combine to form cells, and cells make up organisms.
- But the best analogy here is: Stars → Galaxies (many stars = galaxy), so Molecules → Compounds?
- Wait — actually, molecules are made of atoms, but many molecules can form a compound or substance.
- But let’s think differently: Galaxy is made of stars, just as compound is made of molecules.
- So: Stars : Galaxy :: Molecules : Compound
- ✔ Answer: Compound
> Alternatively, some might say “substance” or “material,” but compound is the most accurate.

- A house is part of a neighborhood.
- A state is part of a country.
- So: House : Neighborhood :: State : Country
- ✔ Answer: Country

- May comes right before June in the calendar.
- Monday comes right before Tuesday.
- So: May : June :: Monday : Tuesday

- A brick is a part of a wall.
- So: Board : Deck :: Brick : Wall
- ✔ Answer: Wall
---
- A pane is a glass piece in a window.
- A knob is a part of a door.
- So: Pane : Window :: Knob : Door

---
- A leg supports a chair.
- A wheel supports a car or cart.
- So: Leg : Chair :: Wheel : Car
- ✔ Answer: Car (or possibly "vehicle", but "car" is more specific)
