a·nal·o·gy (əˈnaləjē)/noun:
a comparison between two things, typically on the basis of their structure, function, or
qualities and for the purpose of explanation or clarification

more U.S. troops come home, the more will be demanded." - Henry Kissinger
I am as graceful as a refrigerator falling down a flight of stairs.

The relationship is ‘grace,’ or lack thereof
CRUMB : BREAD ::
A. ounce : unit
B. splinter : wood
C. water : bucket
D. twine : rope
E. cream : butter
Answer: B
What makes B splinter : wood the right answer? A splinter is a very
small piece that breaks off or splits away from a piece of wood. You
can use almost the very same words to describe the relationships
between CRUMB and BREAD, on the one hand, and splinter and wood,
on the other. That is what makes the relationship analogous, what
make them similar.
None of the relationships between the two words in the other choices is
similar to the relationship between CRUMB and BREAD:
• An ounce is a type of unit; it is not a small piece of a unit.
• Water can be carried in a bucket; it is not a piece of a bucket.
• Twine is thinner and less strong than rope, but it is not a small piece that
breaks off of a rope.
• Cream is what butter is made from, but cream is not a small piece of
butter.
