me to lol

OpenStudy (snuggielad):

Ursine resembles a bear. So this question reads like this: Something that resembles a bear is to a bear as _________ is to _____________?

likeabossssssss (likeabossssssss):

d?

OpenStudy (snuggielad):

leonine means resembling a lion. The relation again is, Resembling a bear : A bear So is that the same comparison as Resembling a Lion : A Tiger?

likeabossssssss (likeabossssssss):

b then?

OpenStudy (snuggielad):

Not quite. Wrong order. Dog ; canine( or Resembling a dog)

OpenStudy (snuggielad):

They have to be in the same order.

likeabossssssss (likeabossssssss):

b then?

OpenStudy (snuggielad):

No, it is not B.

OpenStudy (snuggielad):

simian(resembling an ape) : ape would this be the same as, ursine(resembling a bear) : bear ? are both of those words resembling the comparison word? A lion doesn't resemble a tiger A fish doesn't resemble a pig. And B is just backwards to the original.

likeabossssssss (likeabossssssss):

I might c

OpenStudy (snuggielad):

The first word in the example must relate to the second word in the same way that the first word in the answer relates to the second word in the answer.

OpenStudy (snuggielad):

C would be right.
