Analogy — Instrument and its function: Pen : Write

Difficulty: Easy

Correct Answer: Oar : Row

Explanation:


Introduction / Context:
The relation is tool→its primary action. A pen is used to write; we need another pair that preserves tool→action.


Given Data / Assumptions:

  • Pen → write.
  • Oar → used to row a boat.


Concept / Approach:
Match an implement with the verb denoting what one does with it.


Step-by-Step Solution:

1) Identify functional mapping for options.2) “Oar : Row” mirrors “Pen : Write.”


Why Other Options Are Wrong:

  • Knife : Plate: object–object, not tool–action.
  • Chair : Table: two objects; no action relation.
  • Worker : Factory: person–place.
  • None of these: incorrect because “Oar : Row” fits.


Common Pitfalls:
Choosing object–object relations instead of instrument–function.


Final Answer:
Oar : Row
