Analogy — “Book : Author”. Select the pair that mirrors creator → creation (producer → product).

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:

  • Direction matters: product/work → producer/creator.
  • The mapping should be standard and unambiguous.


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
