An automobile is to driving as a(n) ________ is to a(n) __________.
  1. stake : pup tent
  2. eyeliner : makeup
  3. bus : transportation
  4. boat : sailing
Explanation
Answer: D - An automobile is to driving as a boat is to sailing. An automobile is a physical object and driving is an action or motion done with an automobile. Similarly, a boat is an object, and sailing is an action done with a boat. A stake and a pup tent are two related objects-neither word emphasizes an action. Eyeliner is one element used in makeup, again with no action emphasized. A bus is an object that provides transportation, but D is a better answer because “sailing” and “driving” emphasize current action.
