Asked by Carson

Can someone help me with the following analogy?

colloquy:loquacious
a)somnambulism:ambulatory
b)plateau:flat
c)octahedron:eight
d)toponym:noun
Answered by Ms. Sue
colloquy means conversation
loquacious means talkative

Be sure you understand the definitions of the other words.

What do you think is the best analogy?

Answered by Carson
I was thinking it could be toponym:noun because a toponym is a place name and a noun is a person, place or thing. Does that make sense?
Answered by Ms. Sue
Think about A.

Answered by Carson
That was my second guess thank you Ms. Sue.
Answered by Ms. Sue
You're welcome, Carson.

Answered by Carson
I have one more question. I think the author of this book made a mistake on the next analogy. Take a look and see if you agree.

Platyhelminthes:platypus
a)plateau:platitude
b)worm:marsupial
c)mammal:science
d)crystalline:canine

I think the author mistakenly labeled a platypus as a marsupial. Everything I find says they are not marsupials. Your thoughts?
Answered by Bob
It is b because a platypus is a platyhhelminthes, and a worm is a marsupial
