Question
Bird : Nest :: Bee : ?
Options
- Honey
- Hive
- Flower
- Sting
Show the answer and the worked solution
Correct answer: B. Hive
Worked solution
- The relation is creature to dwelling.
- A bee lives in a hive.
- Honey is what it produces and sting is what it has — different relations.
Answer: Hive.
The idea
Distinguish 'lives in' from 'produces'. Distractors in this pattern are almost always the product or a body part.
Shortcut. A nest is a home the bird builds, so look for the home a bee builds: 'Hive' is the only structure among the options.
Common trap. "Honey" — the strongest bee association, but it is what a bee makes, not where it lives.
