Answer
Correct Answer: A. Cloud, B. Rainbow
Explanation
Introduction / Context:We want entities naturally found “in” their environments. Lightning appears in/among clouds; a rainbow appears in the sky. Thus the mapping is “lightning : cloud :: rainbow : sky”.
Given Data / Assumptions:
- Lightning is observed in cloud formations.
- Rainbow is observed in the sky.
Concept / Approach:Use “phenomenon : medium/location”.
Why Other Options Are Wrong:
- Rain/Thunder etc. mix causes and effects or reverse relations.
- “Sky : Rain” flips containment.
Final Answer:A. Cloud, B. Rainbow
