Question

Find out which of the answer choice completes the same relationship:
Yard is to inch as quart is to

• A. Gallon
• B. Ounce
• C. Milk
• D. Liquid
• E. Solid

Hint:

In measurement analogies, always check the "direction" of the relationship. Yard (Large) $\to$ Inch (Small). If you chose Gallon, you would have been going Small $\to$ Large, which is a common trap!

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Concept: This is an analogy problem based on units of measurement. The relationship is based on a larger unit of measurement being compared to a much smaller unit within the same system (Imperial/US Customary).

Step 1: Analyze the relationship between 'Yard' and 'Inch'.
• A Yard is a unit of length.
• An Inch is a smaller unit of length.
• Specifically, a yard is composed of smaller inches (36 inches = 1 yard). The relationship is: [Larger Unit of Measure] : [Smaller Unit of Measure].


Step 2: Apply the relationship to 'Quart'.
• A Quart is a unit of volume/liquid capacity.
• We need to find a smaller unit of volume from the options.


Step 3: Evaluate the options.
• Gallon: This is a larger unit than a quart (4 quarts = 1 gallon). This reverses the relationship.
• Ounce: This is a smaller unit of volume (32 fluid ounces = 1 quart). This matches the relationship.
• Milk/Liquid: These are things measured by a quart, not units of measurement themselves.
• Solid: This is a state of matter, unrelated to the units.
