Second hand : pane :: watch : _________

Question

This is an analogy question. 

Answer 1

That's an incorrect analogy. There's no real answer.

 

If it were written: Second hand:Watch::Pane:_____ (and that's the direction Dal's answer is going in), then the answer would be "window" or something else that had a pane of glass as part of it.

 

But saying "Second hand is to pane as watch is to _______" makes no sense.

 

Hope that helps.

Answer 2

With analogies, A:B as C:_, you can compare A to B and figure what C changes to, or you can compare A to C and figure what B changes to.  

 

Okay, the second hand is a small part on the face of a watch, that has multiple such parts (minute and hour hand) that moves.

 

A pane is a small piece of glass, generally on the outside of a structure or automobile.  I'd say perhaps "window", although "building" or "skyscraper" are possible words.
