Analogy — Ring : Engagement Select the pair that parallels “symbol–occasion/pact.”

Introduction / Context:A ring is a conventional symbol used in an engagement ceremony. We must find a second pair where the first item symbolizes or ceremonially marks the second event or pact.

Given Data / Assumptions:

• Ring → engagement (symbolic/ceremonial association).
• We seek “gesture/object → agreement/occasion.”

Concept / Approach:Identify a customary act that seals or represents a formal agreement. Discard options that are causal, unrelated, or nonsensical.

• Bang! : Wrist — category and sense mismatch.

Common Pitfalls:Confusing causation or emotion with formal symbolism.

Final Answer:Handshake : Treaty
