Problem 3 - Entrance Test

Select the pair that best expresses a relationship similar to that expressed in the original pair: CONSTELLATION : STARS

Correct: B

A CONSTELLATION is a specific and recognized group of STARS. Similarly, a FLOCK is a recognized collective noun for a group of BIRDS. While an orchestra has musicians and a forest has trees, 'flock' specifically refers to a natural grouping of birds, just as 'constellation' refers to a natural grouping of stars (as seen from Earth and culturally defined). Crowd is a general term for many people, less specific than constellation.
