Question 13

Chest is to Treasure as Jar is to Candy

The relationship between the terms indicates that a "chest" is a container for "treasure," just as a "jar" is a container for "candy." This parallel structure establishes "chest" as the correct answer.

A) gold

Gold is a valuable substance often found within a treasure, but it does not serve as a container. Therefore, it does not fit the analogy of something that holds or contains another item.

B) prize

A prize can be something of value but is not a physical container. While it may represent something won, it does not directly relate to the function of a jar in holding candy.

C) fortune

Fortune refers to wealth or luck and is not a container. Similar to gold, it does not fulfill the requirement of being a vessel for another item.

D) chest

A chest is a physical container specifically designed to hold treasures. This directly mirrors the relationship of a jar holding candy, making it the correct answer.

E) reward

A reward is typically something given in recognition of effort or achievement, but it does not function as a container. Thus, it does not align with the analogy being examined.

Conclusion

The answer "chest" is definitively correct because it maintains the same relationship as "jar" does to "candy," both serving as containers for items of value. All other options fail to represent a physical container, thus not fulfilling the analogy required by the question.
