5. brim : edge :: ________ : dwelling

- Given words: income, abode, frame
- Analysis: "Brim" is another word for edge (e.g., the brim of a hat).

6. ________ : bud :: plant : seed

- Given words: twig, flower, root
- Analysis: A seed grows into a plant. What does a bud grow into?
- A bud grows into a flower.
- So:
Seed → Plant → Bud → Flower

So the analogy is:
Flower : Bud :: Plant : Seed — but reversed in order.

Wait — let’s reverse it:
Plant comes from seed → Flower comes from bud

So:
Flower : Bud :: Plant : Seed

But the format is:
______ : bud :: plant : seed

So we need something that comes from a bud, just like plant comes from seed.

Actually, think of it this way:
- A plant grows from a seed
- A flower grows from a bud

So:
flower : bud :: plant : seed

✔ Answer: flower
