Complete the analogy:

Flipper is to seal as

A) tusk is to elephant
B) gill is to fish
C) wing is to bird
D) fin is to penguin
EJ)engine is to car

-----------------------------------

GOOD LUCK!!

[seoulsucker]

I'd go with D?

Both are water-dwelling, warm-blooded mammals?

[khyber]

C? Maybe d?

I'd not sure if a flipper is used for propulsion or "steering".

[ernie]

i'd say C, because both flippers and wings are like arms... or is the flipper the seal's 'rudder'?

[billybrobby]

Since when do penguins have fins? I'd say C, although you could argue for other ones.

edit -- am I the only one who think's "penguin fin" is strange? If you can call that a fin, then it's D. How do seals propell themselves anyways? I think it's by their back fin, so C would be wrong.

[normalcyispasse]

C, obviously, as the flipper is a direct method of locomotion.

[kiwiliz]

I vote C

Your answer is INCORRECT.
The correct answer is: wing is to bird


This question came straight from http://www.ssat.org

[mountainous]

I read an article on Wikepedia about the SAT. The analogy section was outlawed in response to complaints from major universities, especially the University of California schools. The UC system threatened to no longer require SAT scores for admission, so College Board omitted the analogy section.

D is wrong because penguins don't have fins. It's that simple.

[Intrepid]

But Mountainous, you confuse us with your reference to the SAT, as the SSAT is a different, uh, penguin, and still has an analogy section, far as I know.
