An ordinance is to a statute as a(n) ________ is to a(n) _________.
  1. state government : federal government
  2. constitution : amendment
  3. municipality : state government
  4. limerick : poetry
Explanation
Answer: C - An ordinance is to a statute as a municipality is to a state government. An ordinance is a law enacted by a city or local government, and a statute is a law enacted by a state (or federal) government. The terms “municipality” and “state government” are different terms for the type of governmental body that enacted the ordinance or statute. Answer A is not correct because the comparison is between state and federal government, so Answer C is closer to the question because Answer C compares local government to state government. Answer B is not correct because it compares a first document to a second that changes the first document. Answer D is not correct because a limerick is a particular style of poetry, and there is no correlation to the question.
