SAT question

[Mr.Kalashnikov]

Can someone tell me the answer to this analogy:

A cat is to lion, as ________ is to dog.


According to my english teacher, the answer is not bear, wolf, or puppy. But she didn't tell me the answer!

 

[Solaris]

Mouse?

 

[Axyon]

Jackal, Coyote or Fox perhaps.

 

[French Ninja]

Hyena? African Hunting dog?

You know that the new SAT's don't use the analogys right?

 

[Javert]

I think your teacher has it backwards. I would say:

cat-lion as to dog-wolf.

Right you are.

If you're studying that stuff, it's not going to help you, they took it off because it's culturally dependant answers and there's often more logically acceptable answers than only the marked 'correct' answer.

Javert is right, its wolf, and if it isnt Ill eat my hat.

 

[Darkboy]

If his teacher says it's not wolf, I doubt it is, you know?


Say fox.

 

[Solaris]

My god, I dreamt about this last nigh and got the answer, it didn't make much sense though :/
Can't remeber the answer.

 

[Llama]

Pfft, its obviously a Zombie Doberman

 

[spookymooky]

Coyote, Dingo?

 

[Adabiviak]

How 'bout 'yo momma' for a culturally-relevant reply?
