Find the missing word… BACK : BACKBONE : : BELLY : ?
-
RIBS
-
NAVAL
-
HEART
-
NONE OF THE ABOVE
The relationship is 'Body part : Associated bony structure'. The back has the backbone (spine), just as the belly (abdomen) has the navel (umbilicus) - though the option spells it 'NAVAL', which appears to be a misspelling of 'NAVAL' meaning navel. Ribs are associated with the chest, heart is an organ, not a structural element. Despite the spelling error, the intended answer matches the claimed correct option.
To answer this question, we need to understand the relationship between the given words and find a similar relationship for the missing word.
In the given analogy, "BACK" is related to "BACKBONE." The backbone is located in the back and provides support for the body.
Similarly, we need to find a word that is related to "BELLY" in the same way. The belly is located in the abdominal area and is associated with the naval or navel.
Therefore, the correct answer is B) NAVAL. This option is correct because the naval is located in the belly button area, similar to how the backbone is located in the back.
