Astronomy is to astrology as _______ is to ________.
  1. security : burglary
  2. forensics : pseudo-science
  3. physics : chemistry
  4. statute : codified law
Explanation
Answer: B - Astronomy is to astrology as forensics is to pseudo-science. Astronomy is the scientific study of outer space using physics and math, and astrology is a study of the stars and human personality and life based on an alleged connection between the stars and human personality. Forensics is the use of science and scientific principles, whereas pseudo-science may attempt to apply scientific methods, but is often based on questionable assumptions. Answer A is not correct because security seeks to protect against some threat, and burglary is a possible threat. Answer C is not correct because physics and chemistry are two types of science. Answer D is not correct because it lists two terms for the same thing.
