Difficulty: Easy
Correct Answer: Gate
Explanation:
Introduction / Context:The pair suggests a “principal entry of an enclosure.” A door is the designed entry into a house; correspondingly, the usual controlled entry into a compound is through its gate.
Given Data / Assumptions:
Concept / Approach:Maintain the functional relationship “enclosure : primary access point.” The element must be the designed portal, not just any boundary component.
Step-by-Step Solution:
1) Identify function: For a house, the door provides entry; for a compound, the gate serves the same function.2) Check distractors: Fence and Wall are boundary/containment, not portals; Foundation is structural support, not entry.3) Select “Gate”.Verification / Alternative check:Replace “House : Door” with “Compound : Gate” in everyday usage; the analogy reads naturally.
Why Other Options Are Wrong:
Common Pitfalls:Selecting a boundary element because it “belongs” to a compound but missing the access function that “door” signals in the stem.
Final Answer:Gate
