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

An example sentence would be:

• "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."
