Question:
Our situation is ____ to the problems the warehouse staff dealt with last year.
A) Analogous
B) Opposite
C) Incongruous
D) Conducive
E) Symmetrical
Answer:
The correct answer is A) Analogous
Explanation:
The question seems to be missing a few instructions. However, in the absence of that, the most logical approach is to match the missing word with the best option indicated.
Of all the options given, Analogous which also means Similar or related fits the sentence the most. And here is why:
In the sentence, the object is the situation. Another word for that is the circumstance, state, or condition. It is being juxtaposed with the problems that happened in a previous time period.
Words that make such comparisons usually go in line with the preposition "to".
The word after the missing word is "to". If we inserted all the synonyms indicated above, we would find that they fit neatly.
For example:
Cheers
