Question

Choose the option that completes the analogy in the same way as the given pair.
Range : Mountains :: String : ?

• A. Ribbons
• B. Toys
• C. Beads
• D. Keys

Hint:

A range is a connected series of mountains; think what small round objects are commonly threaded on a string.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

A range is a connected series of mountains standing together. The pair shows a collective term linked to the items it groups. A string similarly groups small threaded items together, most commonly beads.

1. Ribbons: Ribbons are strips of fabric, not typically described as being grouped on a string, so this does not fit.
2. Toys: Toys are varied objects with no standard link to being strung together, making this an unnatural pairing.
3. Beads: Beads are small objects that are classically threaded onto a string, as in a string of beads or a necklace, matching the pattern exactly.
4. Keys: Keys are usually held on a ring rather than a string, so the common phrase does not apply here.

The correct option is Beads, since a string of beads is the standard collective phrase.
