Answer
Correct Answer: Primeval : Medieval
Explanation
Introduction / Context:Dinosaurs are real prehistoric creatures (primeval world), whereas dragons are legendary creatures often situated in medieval lore. The analogy contrasts typical contexts/time-frames rather than biological categories.
Given Data / Assumptions:
- Dinosaur → primeval/prehistory context.
- Dragon → medieval legend/folklore context.
Concept / Approach:Select the pair that reflects those respective contexts in abstract adjectives.
Why Other Options Are Wrong:
- Evolution : Revelation → unrelated processes.
- Gorilla : Soldier → living being vs profession; mismatched classes.
- Snow : Ice → physical substances/states; not contextual eras.
- Mammal : Reptile → taxonomy; shifts the relation away from “real vs legendary era.”
Final Answer:Primeval : Medieval
