Analogy — Institution and Primary Professionals ‘‘College’’ is associated with ‘‘Teachers’’ as the core professionals who deliver instruction. In the same way, a ‘‘Hospital’’ is primarily associated with which group?

Introduction / Context:
Some analogies pair institutions with their key professional roles. A college, while populated by students and staff, is fundamentally defined by the work of teachers and professors. The hospital analogy should mirror this by selecting the primary professionals central to its function.

Given Data / Assumptions:

• College → formal education setting.
• Teachers/Professors → core professional providers of instruction.
• Hospital → health-care facility.
• We seek the core professional providers of medical services.

Concept / Approach:
Match the institution to the professionals who perform its defining service. As teachers define a college’s instructional mission, doctors define a hospital’s clinical mission (supported by nurses, technicians, etc.).

Step-by-Step Solution:
1) Identify role in first pair: College → Teachers (teaching).2) Transfer relation to second pair: Hospital → ? (healing/diagnosis).3) Doctors are the principal professionals responsible for diagnosis and treatment.

Verification / Alternative check:
Try substituting options: patients are recipients, not the professional core; medicine is an instrument/material; beds are facilities. Only doctors fit the professional role analogous to teachers.

Why Other Options Are Wrong:

• Patients: the served group, not the serving professionals.
• Medicine: an object/material, not a professional role.
• Beds: infrastructure, not professionals.

Common Pitfalls:
Confusing the primary service group (patients or students) with the primary service providers (doctors or teachers). The analogy is service-provider centric.

Final Answer:
Doctors
