18. Star is to rats as flow is to _________.
- Explanation: This is a tricky one. Let’s look at the pattern.
- "Star" and "rats" — these are both words, but they don’t seem obviously related.
- But consider: “Star” is a word, and “rats” is an anagram of “stars.”
→ "Star" → "rats" (anagram)
- Now, “flow” — what is an anagram of “flow”?
→ “flow” → “owl” or “low,” but none of those are strong.
Wait: “flow” → “wofl”? Not helpful.
But consider: “flow” → “flow” reversed is “wolF” → "Wolf"?
Hmm.
Alternatively, think of “star” and “rats” — if you reverse “star,” you get “rats” with a typo? No.
Actually:
- “star” → “rats” is an anagram.
- “flow” → what anagram could fit?
Try: “flow” → “lowf”? No.
How about “flow” → “fowl”? Yes! “Fowl” is an anagram of “flow.”
And “fowl” means bird.
But wait — is there a better connection?
Alternatively: “star” is to “rats” as “flow” is to “wofl”? No.
Another idea:
Think of the phrase: “star” → “rats” (anagram).
Then “flow” → “fowl” (anagram).
But “fowl” doesn't clearly relate back.
Wait — maybe it's not about anagrams?
Consider:
“Star” is to “rats” — perhaps a pun? “Star” and “rats” are both animals? No.
Or: “star” → “rat” (as in “star rat”?) Doesn't make sense.
Wait — actually, “star” and “rats” — if you say “star” backwards, it’s “rats” with a different spelling?
“Star” spelled backward is “rats” — yes!
S-T-A-R → R-A-T-S → same letters, rearranged.
So “star” is an anagram of “rats.”
Similarly, “flow” is an anagram of “fowl.”
So the analogy is:
Star is to rats (anagram) as flow is to fowl (anagram).
Therefore, the answer should be fowl.
But let’s confirm:
- “star” → “rats” (anagram)
- “flow” → “fowl” (anagram)
Yes.
So the analogy is based on anagrams.
- Answer: fowl
