FATHER is to DAUGHTER as UNCLE is to:

**The reasoning** This is an **analogy question** — you're looking for the same *relationship* between the second pair as exists in the first pair. FATHER → DAUGHTER: A father is a **male parent** to his **female child**. So the pattern is: **Male relation → Female of the next generation** UNCLE → ?: An uncle is a **male relation** (your parent's brother). Who is the **female of the next generation** to him? His brother's or sister's daughter — that's his **NIECE**. The relationship is consistent: older male family member → younger female family member (one generation down). **Why the wrong options tempt you** - **Aunt** — Looks similar to "Uncle," but that's the *female version* of uncle (same generation), not the next generation down. - **Cousin** — That's uncle's *child*, but the question asks specifically for the *female* child, which is niece. - **Sister** — Same generation as uncle, not the generation below. **Quick takeaway** In family analogies, match both the **gender** and the **generational direction** — father and uncle are both older males, so daughter and niece must both be younger females one generation down.
