Explanation:
To answer this question, we need to determine the relationship between the word "carrot" and the word "vegetable" and then find the choice that represents a similar relationship.
Understanding the Relationship:
A carrot is a type of vegetable. In other words, a carrot is a specific kind of vegetable, and vegetables are a broader category that includes various types of plants that are edible.
Identifying the Similar Relationship:
Now, let's examine the given choices and determine which one represents a similar relationship.
a) DOGWOOD is to OAK: This choice does not represent a similar relationship. Dogwood and oak are both types of trees, but they are not related in the same way as carrot and vegetable.
b) FOOT is to PAW: This choice does not represent a similar relationship either. A foot and a paw are both body parts, but they are not related in the same way as carrot and vegetable.
c) PEPPER is to SPICE: This choice represents a similar relationship. Pepper is a specific type of spice, and spices are a broader category that includes various types of flavorings used in cooking.
d) SHEEP is to LAMB: This choice does not represent a similar relationship. A sheep and a lamb are related, but they represent different stages of the same animal's life cycle, rather than a specific type of thing within a broader category.
Conclusion:
Based on the analysis above, the correct answer is option c) PEPPER is to SPICE. This choice represents a similar relationship to the one between carrot and vegetable, where pepper is a specific type of spice and spices are a broader category.
