DISTANCE:MILE

liquid:litre

bushel:corn

weight:scale

fame:television
This analogy pairs a physical quantity with its unit of measurement. Distance is measured in miles; liquid is measured in litres. A scale is a tool to measure weight, not a unit, and a bushel is a unit for corn, but the order is reversed.
To answer this question, we need to understand the relationship between the given terms.
The relationship between "distance" and "mile" is that "mile" is a unit of measurement used to quantify distance. Similarly, we need to find the option where one term is a unit of measurement for the other.
Let's go through each option to understand why it is correct or incorrect:
Option A) liquid:litre - This option is correct because "litre" is a unit of measurement used to quantify liquids, similar to how "mile" is a unit of measurement for distance.
Option B) bushel:corn - This option is incorrect because "bushel" is a unit of measurement used to quantify crops, not specifically corn.
Option C) weight:scale - This option is incorrect because "scale" is not a unit of measurement, but rather a device used to measure weight.
Option D) fame:television - This option is incorrect because "television" is not a unit of measurement, but rather a medium for broadcasting fame.
The correct answer is A) liquid:litre. This option is correct because it represents a similar relationship to the given terms "distance:mile" where one term is a unit of measurement for the other.
