Difficulty: Easy
Correct Answer: Furniture
Explanation:
Introduction / Context:
This analogy is about products and their makers. A tailor makes a dress. We need the item a carpenter typically produces.
Given Data / Assumptions:
Concept / Approach:
Map “maker → product.” The tailor’s finished output is a dress. For a carpenter, the parallel is “furniture” (chairs, tables, cabinets), which are finished products, not raw inputs.
Step-by-Step Solution:
Identify relation: “dress : tailor” = “finished good : maker.”Carpenter’s finished good: “furniture.”Eliminate materials-only distractors (“wood,” “cloth,” “leather”).
Verification / Alternative check:
Substitute back: As a tailor makes a dress, a carpenter makes furniture. The structural role (producer → product) remains consistent.
Why Other Options Are Wrong:
Wood/leather/cloth identify raw materials rather than the finished outcome of the carpenter’s work (though wood is used by carpenters).
Common Pitfalls:
Confusing “material” with “product.” The analogy targets product–maker, not material–user.
Final Answer:
Furniture.
