Difficulty: Easy
Correct Answer: Ink : Paper
Explanation:
Introduction / Context:
In this analogy, “Chalk : Blackboard” shows a tool used to write and the surface on which it is used. The goal is to find another pair expressing the same “writing medium to writing surface” relationship with the same direction (tool/medium → surface).
Given Data / Assumptions:
Concept / Approach:
Chalk corresponds to ink as writing mediums; blackboard corresponds to paper as writing surfaces. The pair must be functional and domain-consistent, not merely related objects.
Step-by-Step Solution:
Verification / Alternative check:
Replace with usage statements: “Chalk writes on Blackboard” vs. “Ink writes on Paper.” Both are correct and structurally identical.
Why Other Options Are Wrong:
Common Pitfalls:
Choosing general associations rather than the specific functional mapping of writing medium to surface, and mixing up component vs. usage relationships.
Final Answer:
Ink : Paper
