Choose the pair that best represents a similar relationship to the one expressed in the original pair of words. ODOMETER : DISTANCE

scale : weight
length : width
inch : foot
mileage : speed E. area : size

The correct answer is: A. scale : weight

An odometer is a device that measures the distance traveled by a vehicle. A scale is a device that measures weight. Both an odometer and a scale are measuring devices that provide quantitative information about a physical quantity.

The other options are not correct because they do not represent a similar relationship to the one expressed in the original pair of words.

  • Length and width are both measurements of physical dimensions, but they are not directly related to each other. For example, a rectangle can have the same length and width, or it can have a different length and width.
  • An inch is a unit of length, and a foot is a unit of length. These are not directly related to each other, as there are 12 inches in a foot.
  • Mileage is a measure of distance traveled, and speed is a measure of how fast something is moving. These are not directly related to each other, as you can travel a certain distance at different speeds.
  • Area is a measure of the amount of space enclosed by a two-dimensional figure, and size is a general term for the extent of something. These are not directly related to each other, as you can have two figures with the same area but different sizes.
