Analogy — Carpenter : Saw :: Tailor : ? Pick the tool that stands to a tailor the way a saw stands to a carpenter.

Introduction / Context:
Here the first pair shows a profession linked with a characteristic tool: a carpenter commonly uses a saw. We need to mirror this with the tailor’s characteristic hand tool among the options provided.

Given Data / Assumptions:

• Carpenter → saw (tool).
• Tailor → needle (tool) is a classic pairing (often with thread).
• Eliminate processes (“sewing”), materials (“cloth”), or abstractions (“measurement”).

Concept / Approach:
Preserve type consistency: profession → tool. While tailors may also use machines, the needle remains the emblematic tool corresponding to “saw” for a carpenter.

Step-by-Step Solution:

Verification / Alternative check:
Common-knowledge associations in language and imagery (e.g., tailor’s needle and thread) support this mapping.

Why Other Options Are Wrong:

• Measurement — a task, not a tool.
• Sewing — an action/process.
• Cloth — material worked upon, not the tool.

Common Pitfalls:
Confusing process or material with the instrument required by the analogy.

Final Answer:
Needle
