1. Which of the following pairs of words express the relationship that is most similar to the pair
- Square: Cube?
- (1) Rectangle : Cuboid
- (2) Triangle: Square
- (3) Quadrilateral: Cuboid
- (4) Cuboid: Rectangle
EXPLANATION
The relationship between “Square” and “Cube” is that a cube is a three-dimensional shape that is formed by stacking squares.
Among the given options:
- (1) Rectangle : Cuboid – This pair represents a two-dimensional shape (rectangle) and a three-dimensional shape (cuboid). It is similar to the relationship between square and cube, so it is a good match.
- (2) Triangle: Square – This pair represents a two-dimensional shape (triangle) and a two-dimensional shape (square), not matching the three-dimensional relationship of square and cube.
- (3) Quadrilateral: Cuboid – This pair represents a two-dimensional shape (quadrilateral) and a three-dimensional shape (cuboid). It is similar to the relationship between square and cube, so it is a good match.
- (4) Cuboid: Rectangle – This pair represents two three-dimensional shapes and does not match the two-dimensional relationship between square and cube.
Therefore, the correct pairs that express a relationship similar to the pair Square: Cube are:
(1) Rectangle : Cuboid and (3) Quadrilateral: Cuboid.
