alike7how alike: fly & tree

Text of this Question or Item

489. Now I'd like to turn to something a bit different. This 
section is about reasoning abilities, that is, about how people 
think. Most people take tests of their reasoning abilities and 
there is a lot of interest in how these abilities may change 
over time. What I'd like you to do is tell me how two things are 
alike. g. In what way are a fly and a tree alike?
