Understanding the Analogy
The analogy presented is "Hill : Mountain :: Stream : ?". To solve this analogy, we need to identify the relationship between the first pair of words and apply it to the second pair.
Analyzing the First Pair: Hill and Mountain
- Size Difference: A hill is a smaller elevation of land compared to a mountain.
- Nature of Elevation: Both are types of elevated landforms, but mountains are generally more prominent and larger than hills.
Applying the Same Logic to the Second Pair
Now we look at the second pair: "Stream : ?".
- Stream Definition: A stream is a small, flowing body of water, often smaller than a river.
- Comparative Size: To maintain the same relationship as hills to mountains, we seek a larger body of water that is similar in nature.
Options Analysis
- a) River: A river is a larger, flowing body of water compared to a stream, just as a mountain is larger than a hill.
- b) Canal: A canal is a man-made waterway, not a natural body like a stream.
- c) Glacier: A glacier is a large mass of ice, unrelated to the water flow comparison.
- d) Avalanche: An avalanche refers to a mass of snow, ice, and debris falling down a slope, which does not fit the water analogy.
Conclusion
Since the only option that maintains the same relationship of size and type is "River," the correct answer is:
Option A: River
