Answer
The relationship between color and spectrum is not
merely that of part to whole, in which case (E) or
even (C) might be defended as correct. A spectrum is
made up of a progressive, graduated series of colors, as
a scale is of a progressive, graduated sequence of tones.
Thus, (A) is the correct answer choice. In this
instance, the best answer must be selected from a
group of fairly close choices.
