Mountains are to valleys as ________ are to _________.
  1. human beings : blood cells
  2. islands : peninsulas
  3. buildings : city streets
  4. cars : automobiles
Explanation
Answer: C - Mountains are to valleys as buildings are to city streets. Both mountains and valleys are different features in a landscape, and buildings and city streets are different features in a cityscape. Islands and peninsulas are both features in ocean environments, but C is a better answer because buildings and city streets contrast high and low areas is a way that is closer to the contrast between mountains and valleys. Blood cells are found inside human beings and do not stand in contrast. The terms “cars” and “automobiles” are different words for the same thing-there is no contrast.
