Yard is to inch as quart is to what?

Yard is to inch as quart is to what?

• A. gallon
• B. ounce
• C. milk
• D. liquid

Answer: (B)

The relationship between "yard" and "inch" is one of measurement units within the same category of units, specifically length. A yard is a larger unit of length, and it consists of 36 inches, which is a smaller unit.

Applying this relationship to the second part of the analogy, "quart" refers to a unit of volume. Within the volume measurement system, a quart is equivalent to 32 fluid ounces. Therefore, just as inches are a smaller unit that makes up a yard, ounces are the smaller units that make up a quart.

This makes ounces the appropriate answer, as it maintains the same hierarchical relationship between the two sets of units. The other options, such as gallon (which is a larger unit than quart), milk (a type of liquid but not a unit of measurement), and liquid (a general category rather than a specific unit), do not fit this pattern of smaller units related to larger units within the same measurement category.
