Understanding the Relationship
The relationship between "GOWN" and "GARMENT" is that a gown is a specific type of garment. This implies that the first word (gown) is a subset or a specific instance of the broader category represented by the second word (garment).
Analyzing the Options
Now, let's analyze the options provided for "GASOLINE":
- a) COOLANT: This is a substance used to reduce heat in engines, not a category of fuel.
- b) FUEL: This is a broad category that includes substances like gasoline, diesel, and natural gas, all of which are used to power engines.
- c) OIL: While gasoline can be derived from oil, it is not synonymous with it. Oil is a broader category that includes various types of petroleum products.
- d) LUBRICANT: This is a substance used to reduce friction between surfaces in mutual contact, which is unrelated to gasoline.
Conclusion
The correct answer is b) FUEL because gasoline is a specific type of fuel, just as a gown is a specific type of garment. Both relationships illustrate how one term is a particular example of a broader category. Therefore, the analogy holds true, making "FUEL" the most appropriate choice.
