Question:

Our situation is to the problems the warehouse staff dealt with last year.

A) Analogous

B) Opposite

C) Incongruous

D) Conducive

E) Symmetrical​

The correct answer is A) Analogous

Explanation:

The question seems to be missing a few instructions. However, in the absence of that, the most logical approach is to match the missing word with the best option indicated.

Of all the options given, Analogous which also means Similar or related fits the sentence the most. And here is why:

In the sentence, the object is the situation. Another word for that is the circumstance, state, or condition. It is being juxtaposed with the problems that happened in a previous time period.

Words that make such comparisons usually go in line with the preposition "to".

The word after the missing word is "to". If we inserted all the synonyms indicated above, we would find that they fit neatly.

For example:

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
