Difficulty: Easy
Correct Answer: Segment : Line
Explanation:
Introduction / Context:
“Arc : Circle” shows a strict part–whole geometric relation: an arc is a portion of a circle. We must select a pair that preserves this geometric subset relation with the same order (part → whole).
Given Data / Assumptions:
Concept / Approach:
A segment is part of a line (a line segment). This is the closest parallel in elementary geometry: both pairs describe a portion of a fundamental geometric object.
Step-by-Step Solution:
Verification / Alternative check:
Define terms: a line segment is any finite part of a line; an arc is any connected part of a circle. The structural analogy matches perfectly.
Why Other Options Are Wrong:
Common Pitfalls:
Choosing conceptually related terms but missing the explicit part-first order. Always align both the relation and its direction with the stem pair.
Final Answer:
Segment : Line
