[amp_mcq option1=”A is part of B” option2=”B has A as a part of itself” option3=”A is a kind of B” option4=”A is superordinate of B” correct=”option1″]
The correct answer is: A. A is part of B.
Holonymy is a part-whole relationship between two nouns. The holonym is the whole, and the meronym is the part. For example, “house” is a holonym of “door”, and “door” is a meronym of “house”.
Option B is incorrect because it reverses the relationship. In a holonymy relationship, A is part of B, not the other way around.
Option C is incorrect because it is a different type of relationship. A meronym is a part of a holonym, but it is not a kind of holonym.
Option D is incorrect because it is a different type of relationship. A holonym is a whole, but it is not a superordinate of a meronym.
