Supplemental Knowledge

Analogies are comparisons that highlight how two words or concepts are similar and related. An analogical relationship might include function, cause-and-effect or part-to-whole relationships or even type.
In the given analogy:

• Cage is to enclose: A cage functions to enclose something.
• We need to find the function of a valve.

Valve devices serve to regulate, direct, or control the flow of liquid or gas-borne fluids by opening, closing or partially blocking various passageways.

Life in Context 

Consider how valves are used in everyday life:

• In plumbing systems, valves control the flow of water through pipes.
• In engines, valves control the intake and exhaust of gases.
• In medical devices like IV drips, valves regulate the flow of fluids into a patient's body.

For example:

• When you turn on a faucet (which contains a valve), you control the flow of water.
