Confusion in analogy Hailstorm : Destruction :: Brainstorm :? [closed]
I am solving some problems in an analogy. At one point I have got the following analogy.
Hailstorm : Destruction :: Brainstorm : ?
a ) Construction b ) Innovation c) Neuroticism d) Disorientation
According to me, Brainstorm is the reason for Innovation. But a book says the answer will be disorientation.
Can you please enlighten me the correct answer?
I believe your textbook is using the secondary definition of brainstorm. This may be due to an older textbook.
Brainstorm
noun
1. a spontaneous group discussion to produce ideas and ways of solving problems.
- INFORMAL, a moment in which one is suddenly unable to think clearly or act sensibly.
This second definition provides a direct analogy to disorientation. Through the following relationship:
Hailstorm- a storm of heavy hail : Destruction- the action or process of causing so much damage to something that it no longer exists or cannot be repaired. Brainstorm- a moment in which one is suddenly unable to think clearly or act sensibly.: Disorientation- a state of mental confusion. This provides more analogical value than to Innovation- making changes in something established, especially by introducing new methods, ideas, or products
