Producer–product analogy: “Silkworm : Silk :: Snake : ?” — identify the corresponding output/produced substance.

Difficulty: Easy

Correct Answer: Poison

Explanation:


Introduction / Context:
The relationship is organism → characteristic product/substance. A silkworm produces silk; a snake produces venom (colloquially called poison, though “venom” is more precise in biology).


Given Data / Assumptions:

  • Silkworm → silk (material).
  • Snake → venom (termed “poison” in many GK items).


Concept / Approach:
Select the term that mirrors the output relationship.


Step-by-Step Solution:
1) Identify “product” of snake in common usage: poison (venom).2) Choose “Poison.”


Why Other Options Are Wrong:

  • Poisonless: Negation, not a product.
  • Death/Fear: Effects, not a substance produced.
  • Skin: Shed by many animals; not the standard product analogy here.


Common Pitfalls:
Over-correcting from “poison” to biological “venom”; in GK analogies, “poison” is acceptable shorthand.


Final Answer:
Poison
