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:
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
