Analogy — (Recovery Applied) Map vehicle to driving part: Boat : Oar :: Bicycle : ?

Introduction / Context:
(Recovery applied) The prompt shows “Boat : Ore”; this appears to be a typographical error for “Oar,” the rowing implement. The relation is “vehicle → primary human-powered driving part.” We must choose the corresponding driving part for a bicycle.

Given Data / Assumptions:

• Boat is propelled by an oar (human power).
• Bicycle is propelled via pedals applying torque through the chain to the wheel.
• Seat and wheel are components, but not the driving interface; road is an external medium.

Concept / Approach:
Preserve “means of imparting human effort to produce motion.” Choose the part that transmits the human's force to propulsion.

Step-by-Step Solution:
Boat → oar (driving implement).Bicycle → pedal (driving implement/interface).Thus: Bicycle : Pedal.

Verification / Alternative check:
Functional role: both oar and pedal convert human effort into forward motion within their systems, mirroring the mechanism type.

Why Other Options Are Wrong:
(b) Seat – support component, not propulsion.
(c) Road – environment, not part of the bicycle.
(d) Wheel – critical component but not the human interface for applied effort.

Common Pitfalls:
Picking “wheel” because it rotates; the analogy specifically targets the driving interface, not just any moving part.

Final Answer:
Pedal
