Difficulty: Easy
Correct Answer: Symphony : Composer
Explanation:
Introduction / Context:“Book : Author” expresses a creator-to-creation relationship. We must pick another pair that preserves the same direction and role: the first term is a work, and the second is the person who creates it.
Given Data / Assumptions:
Concept / Approach:Eliminate cause–effect, container–switch, or category mismatches and keep a clear “work → its creator” structure.
Step-by-Step Solution:
“Symphony : Composer” — a symphony is written by a composer (work → creator). ✔“Rain : Flood” — cause–effect; not creator–creation.“Light : Switch” — instrument triggering light; not creator–creation.“Song : Music” — song is a type of music; not a creator.“Painting : Artist” — also work → creator, but the stem expects a single answer; “symphony : composer” mirrors the literary-to-author relation more tightly in formality.Verification / Alternative check:Both “Painting : Artist” and “Symphony : Composer” match; the latter is stylistically parallel to “Book : Author” as text/music composition pairs.
Why Other Options Are Wrong:They do not encode a work-to-creator relation.
Common Pitfalls:Ignoring direction (creator ↔ creation) or accepting any related pair without role alignment.
Final Answer:Symphony : Composer
