Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Defamation is to contracts as copper is to wood. Answer B is not a perfect analogy, but it is the best analogy from the available answer choices. Defamation and contracts are not related except that they are both connected to the law. Copper and wood are not related except that they are found in nature and can be useful to human beings. Answer A is not correct because red and blue are closely related as different colors. Answer C is not correct because wills are legal documents and probate relates to processing a will to distribute the testator's property according to the will. Answer D might seem like a good choice, but is not correct because a constitution provides a framework for the enactment and enforcement of statutory law. Answer D can be distinguished from the question and Answer B because a constitution and statutory law have a closer relationship than defamation and contracts, or copper and wood.
