Free OLSAT Level B Sample Test (1st Grade)

The top row shows two pictures side by side:

On the left: a table lamp with a cord and plug
On the right: a street lantern on a tall pole

Before we think about what connects them, let's just observe them carefully. One is small and has a plug. The other is tall and stands outside. They look different, but they must have something in common or something that links them.

Ask the key question: "How does a lamp relate to a street lantern?"
Let's think about what a lamp does. A lamp provides light, and it is found inside a home or building. Now think about a street lantern. It also provides light, but it is found outside, in a street or park.
So the relationship is: a lamp is the indoor version of a street lantern. Or we can flip it and say: a street lantern is the outdoor version of a lamp. Both give light, but one belongs inside and one belongs outside.
We can write this relationship as a sentence to make it very clear:
"A lamp provides light indoors, and a street lantern provides light outdoors."

The bottom left picture shows a couch (also called a sofa). Now we need to ask: "What is the outdoor version of a couch?"
Just like we did with the lamp, let's think about what a couch does. A couch is a piece of furniture that provides a place to sit and rest, and it is found inside a home.
So we need to find something that also provides a place to sit and rest, but is found outside.

Now let's check each answer option:

Option A shows a wooden fence. A fence does not provide a place to sit. It is used for boundaries and enclosures. This does not match.
Option B shows a refrigerator. A refrigerator stores food and keeps it cold. It is used indoors and does not relate to sitting at all. This does not match.
Option C shows a flashlight. A flashlight provides light, which might seem connected to the lamp, but we are now looking for the partner of the couch, not the lamp. A flashlight is not a place to sit. This does not match.
Option D shows a park bench. A bench provides a place to sit and rest, and it is found outside in parks, gardens, and streets. This matches perfectly.

The relationship holds: a couch provides seating indoors, and a bench provides seating outdoors, just like a lamp provides light indoors and a street lantern provides light outdoors.
State the full analogy to confirm.
Here is the complete analogy written as a sentence:
"A lamp is to a street lantern as a couch is to a bench."
In both cases, the first item is the indoor version and the second item is the outdoor version. The function is the same, but the location is different. This confirms that D is the correct answer.
