Ethnic is to Irish as religious is to? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A. race, <\/p>\n\n\n\n

B. persecute, <\/p>\n\n\n\n

C. prejudice<\/p>\n\n\n\n

D. Christian <\/p>\n\n\n\n

E. worship<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Correct Answer and Explanation is:<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The correct answer is D. Christian<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Explanation:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In this analogy, “Ethnic is to Irish as religious is to Christian” compares two pairs of words based on the relationship between ethnicity and religion. Let\u2019s break it down:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • “Ethnic” refers to characteristics associated with a particular group of people, often linked to cultural, linguistic, or national identity. In this context, “Irish” refers to an ethnic identity. So, Irish is an example of an ethnic group.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • “Religious” pertains to a belief system or a group of people who follow a particular faith. In this case, “Christian” refers to a religion, specifically those who follow Christianity. Just as “Irish” represents an ethnic group, “Christian” represents a religious group.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    The analogy is structured to establish the relationship between an overarching category and its specific example. “Ethnic” is the broader category, and “Irish” is a specific ethnicity under that category. Similarly, “religious” is the broader category, and “Christian” is a specific religion under that category.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Looking at the other options:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    • A. Race<\/strong>: While race is related to ethnicity, it doesn\u2019t fit the analogy. “Religious” needs to be followed by a specific religion (like Christian), not a broad term like race.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • B. Persecute<\/strong>: This refers to treating someone unfairly or cruelly, especially because of their religion, but it\u2019s not a religious identity.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • C. Prejudice<\/strong>: Prejudice refers to preconceived negative judgments or attitudes but doesn’t represent a religion or religious identity.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • E. Worship<\/strong>: Worship is an action or practice related to religion but does not fit the analogy of a specific religious group.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      Therefore, “Christian”<\/strong> is the correct answer because it is a specific religious identity, just as “Irish” is a specific ethnic identity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
