S Daughtrey Book 1 Type 2 Question - Help please
Please could somebody explain to me why the answer to the following question is "head" and "glove"?:
Hat is to (head, sun, brim) as hand is to (fingers, glove, wrist)
To me, even "brim" and "fingers" would seem to be a better, if weird, answer!
The answer does not seem supported by her explanation of this question type in the preceding pages.
Sorry if I'm being dim, please give me an explanation I can pass on! Or is this question written incorrectly?
Thanks

I think it's like this. Hat goes with head and gloves go with hands.
I don't know whether there is any other way.

My son has done this one. He says, use basic logic rather than in-depth analysis!!! So head goes with hat and gloves go with hand. He also adds that brim is the outer rim of the hat and the outer rim of hand/gloves are the finger tips not the whole finger. Well that is the explanation given by my 10 year old. : ). I am sure somebody will come along and give you a reasonable explanation.

It would be easier if it was written Hat is to............as glove is to.borax wrote::

But the logic of the relationship holds true even if it is reversed, if you know what I mean.

Actually, I think this is a proof-reading error. You have to be able to write the same sentence with the two halves of the question. So:
You wear a hat on your head.
?You wear a hand on your glove.
This doesn't work; you can't reverse the logic.
At the outside of a hat you have a brim.
At the outside of a hand you have fingers.
This does work.
