WAR : OFFENSIVE ::

  • A. school : student
  • B. waterfall : river
  • C. slumber : dream
  • D. stadium : soccer
  • E. game : poker
Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C 🗳️
This is an "environment for" analogy. An OFFENSIVE (a noun here) is an event — a planned attack — that typically occurs during a WAR. Similarly, a dream is an event that typically occurs during slumber(deep sleep). As for choice (D), soccer is an event that might take place in a stadium. But to say that soccer usually occurs in a stadium would be an overstatement. Also, a stadium is a physical place, whereas WAR and slumber are events.

While none of the answers is a perfect match, the choice that has some similarity in that a stadium is a place where soccer games (which often involve offensive actions) are played. However, it doesn't capture the essence of "OFFENSIVE" in the same way the analogy "WAR : OFFENSIVE" does. D is the closest match.
