Verbal Reasoning - Analogy - Discussion

I think option A is right.

A Forest should have trees in order to be called a forest, but garden, field and park need not necessarily have grass in order to be called so. We can just have some plants and flowers and call it a garden. Simply putting some benches and children swings in an empty concrete land we can have a park. A field is just an empty piece of land, we need not have grass on it to call it a field.

But, if there is no grass, there is no lawn. Hence, I think A is the right answer.

I didn't understand how come the answer is lawn.

I think the Answer should be Field.

Lawn More over man-made things. But Forest is a gift of Nature, Field is also That and Grass is growing there also.

So Field is the Right answer.

The correct answer is Lawn coz, as trees are found in forest likewise grass is found in Lawn.

If you check laws anywhere they mainly consist of only grass.
Field cannot be correct because there are various fields like flowers, Wheat, etc.

Park and garden also cannot be because there are many others things in a park and garden other then only gras.

Which can be swings, people, benches, etc.

Grass is found in parks, fields and garden also then why only lawn? Explain.

The grass is found everywhere like parks fields and lawns then what the logic for only lawns?

It is also true that grass is found in gardens fields. Then why not B?

The right answer may be field because lawn, garden, park are a bounded region or limited area but field is unbounded and cannot be examine how much area covered like tree:forest.

Thank you @Ssvk.

Analogy: Tree : Forest :: Grass : ?

The relationship established in the first pair is: A large, naturally occurring or characteristic area that is predominantly defined by the first item. A Forest is an extensive area overwhelmingly composed of Trees. While other elements exist, trees are its defining feature.

Lawn:
Explanation: A lawn is an area of ground covered with short, mown grass, typically in a garden or park, used for aesthetic purposes or recreation. Its defining characteristic is the presence of grass, which is meticulously maintained as the primary feature. Just as a forest is trees, a lawn is a grass.

Comparison: This is the strongest fit because the defining characteristic of a lawn is the grass itself, just as the defining characteristic of a forest is trees.

Field:
Explanation: A "field" is a broad term for an open area of land. While it can be covered in grass (like a grassy field or pasture), the term "field" is not exclusively defined by grass. There are various types of fields, such as wheat fields, corn fields, paddy fields (rice), or even sports fields that might be artificial turf. Therefore, "field" is too general and doesn't solely imply a predominant presence of grass in the way "forest" implies trees.

Comparison: Less accurate than "Lawn" because "Field" encompasses areas with other vegetation or even bare land, unlike a "Forest" which is specifically tree-dominated.

Garden:
Explanation: A garden is a planned space, usually outdoors, set aside for the cultivation, display, and enjoyment of plants and other forms of nature. While gardens often include areas of grass (lawns), they also contain a diverse range of other elements like flowers, shrubs, trees, pathways, decorative features, and possibly vegetable patches. Grass is just one component, not the sole defining feature.

Comparison: Not a good fit because a "Garden" is a mix of many things, whereas a "Forest" is primarily trees.

Park:
Explanation: A park is a large public green area in a town or city, used for recreation. Parks typically contain a variety of features including trees, grassed areas (lawns), flowerbeds, paths, benches, playgrounds, and sometimes water bodies. Like a garden, while it has grass, it's not defined by grass alone; it's a multi-faceted recreational space.

Comparison: Similar to "Garden, " a "Park" is a collection of diverse elements, not solely characterized by grass, unlike the defining relationship between trees and a forest.

Conclusion:
The analogy requires an area predominantly and characteristically defined by the individual item. A Lawn is the clear choice because its entire essence is a cultivated area of grass, just as a forest's essence is its trees.
