Question

Odometer is to Mileage as Compass is to ..............

• A. Hiking
• B. Needle
• C. Direction
• D. Road

Hint:

When solving analogy questions, focus on the function or characteristic shared by the first pair of words and apply it to the second pair.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

This is an analogy question. An odometer is a device that measures the distance traveled by a vehicle, which is directly related to the measure of mileage. Similarly, a compass is a device used for navigation, specifically to determine direction.
Hence, the correct analogy is: Odometer : Mileage as Compass : Direction.
The other options, "Hiking," "Needle," and "Road," are not relevant to the function of a compass. The compass’s primary function is to point to directions, just as the odometer measures mileage.
