About This Clues Answer
We think the answer is "ANALOGY" which means:
- noun
- • An inference that if things agree in some respects they probably agree in others
- • Drawing a comparison in order to show a similarity in some respect
- • The religious belief that between creature and creator no similarity can be found so great but that the dissimilarity is always greater; any analogy between god and humans will always be inadequate

- • "She used an analogy to explain the concept of evolution."
- • "The teacher used the analogy of a traffic light to explain the importance of following rules."
