Analogy (class membership): DELTOID is to MUSCLE as which pair shows the same type-to-class relationship?

Question

Solve this multiple-choice question and choose the correct option.

Accepted Answer

Introduction / Context:The analogy asks you to recognize a specific member of a biological class and match it with its correct category. The deltoid is a particular muscle. We need another “specific anatomical structure : its class” pairing. Given Data / Assumptions: Base: deltoid → muscle (specific named muscle → class “muscle”). Correct option: a specific named structure → correct anatomical class. Reject pairs that are part-to-part, instrument-to-action, or mismatched levels. Concept / Approach:“Radius : bone” fits because the radius is the lateral forearm bone, a specific example of the class “bone.” Other options mix tissues and organs or confuse tools with outcomes, which breaks the class-membership relationship. Step-by-Step Solution: Identify taxonomy: deltoid ∈ muscles.Evaluate “radius : bone” — correct taxonomy: radius ∈ bones.Reject “brain : nerve” — brain is an organ; nerve is a different structure type.Reject “tissue : organ” — wrong order/levels.Reject “blood : vein” — substance vs. vessel; not a member-class relation.Reject “scalpel : incision” — instrument vs. result; not anatomy taxonomy. Verification / Alternative check: Both correct pairs name a single, specific anatomical example and its proper class. Why Other Options Are Wrong: They cross categories (organ vs. nerve), invert levels (tissue vs. organ), or shift to tool-result relations. Common Pitfalls: Choosing any biological words without confirming proper taxonomic containment. Final Answer:radius : bone
