Analogy — Controller and controlled flow/system: Signal : Traffic :: Dam : ? Pick the system/flow that is regulated by the left term, as traffic is regulated by a signal.

Difficulty: Easy

Correct Answer: Dam : River

Explanation:

Introduction / Context:A traffic signal regulates the movement of traffic. A dam regulates the flow of a river. The relation is “regulator → regulated system/flow”.

Why Other Options Are Wrong:

  • Lens : Light — Modifies/focuses, but not a traffic-like regulatory control analogy.
  • Door : House — Access barrier to a place, not flow control of a medium.
  • Operation : Doctor — Reversed roles; doctor performs operation.
  • None of these — invalid since a correct pair exists.

Final Answer:Dam : River
