Analogy — Traveller : Journey :: Sailor : ? Select the term that names the typical expedition or travel undertaken by a sailor, paralleling traveller–journey.

Difficulty: Easy

Correct Answer: Voyage

Explanation:


Introduction / Context:
“Traveller : Journey” links an agent with the activity undertaken. The parallel for a sailor is the term that denotes the travel/expedition by sea. This is a standard agent–activity pairing in vocabulary questions.


Given Data / Assumptions:

  • Traveller → journey (activity).
  • Sailor → voyage (sea journey/activity).
  • Eliminate medium (“water”), vehicle (“ship”), or group (“crew”) since the analogy calls for activity.


Concept / Approach:
Maintain category alignment: both right-hand terms should be activities, not objects or collectives. “Voyage” is the natural activity noun for a sailor’s travel by sea.


Step-by-Step Solution:

Identify the agent–activity relation.Map sailor → voyage, analogous to traveller → journey.Discard non-activity options (medium, vehicle, crew).


Verification / Alternative check:
Usage in literature and common speech consistently pairs “sailor” with “voyage.”


Why Other Options Are Wrong:

  • Water — medium, not an activity.
  • Ship — vehicle, not an activity.
  • Crew — group of people, not an activity.


Common Pitfalls:
Picking a closely related noun (ship) instead of the activity noun demanded by the analogy.


Final Answer:
Voyage
