Difficulty: Easy
Correct Answer: Catapult : Stone
Explanation:
Introduction / Context:
“Launcher : Missiles” expresses a device designed to propel a specified projectile. We must find a parallel pair with a device that launches/propels its characteristic projectile.
Given Data / Assumptions:
Concept / Approach:
Discard pairs where the second term is not the projectile, where the first term is not the device, or where both are co-hyponyms (same category items) rather than device–output.
Step-by-Step Solution:
Verification / Alternative check:
History and physics examples list catapults launching stones, analogous to missile launchers launching missiles.
Why Other Options Are Wrong:
Common Pitfalls:
Confusing “powers/contains” relations with “launches/propels.”
