One way to solve it is by putting "sentences/bridge/relationship" between two words: DISTANCE: MILE
"Distance dimension is Mile" or "Distance can be measured in Mile".
So the analogy could be:
A. liquid: litre = "Liquid can be measured in litre " (Yes!)
B. bushel: corn = "Bushel can be measured in corn" (This is reversed).
C. weight: scale = "Weight dimension is scale" (Irrelevant).
D. fame: television = "Fame dimension is Television" (Illogical).
"Distance dimension is Mile" or "Distance can be measured in Mile".

I think distance is a physical quantity and mile is its unit but liquid is a state of matter i.e. it is a matter not a physical quantity. It's mass or volume or density etc are the physical quantity. The unit of volume is a liter. In a straight way, we can say that distance is measured in mile and liquid can be measured in the liter. But is it correct scientifically?
