What is the answer to analogy sleep snooze as drink toanswer choices gulp swallow sip slurp?

The answer is sip. Here's why:

* Sleep and snooze both relate to taking a short period of rest.

* Drink and sip both relate to taking a small amount of liquid.

The analogy works because "snooze" is a smaller, shorter version of "sleep," just as "sip" is a smaller, slower way to "drink."

Let's look at why the other options don't fit:

* Gulp: A gulp is a large, quick intake of liquid.

* Swallow: Swallowing is the action of moving liquid down your throat, not the act of taking it in.

* Slurp: Slurping is a noisy way to drink, not a smaller version of drinking.
