Verbal analogy — select the pair with the same relationship as “Glove : Hand”.

Introduction / Context: In a verbal analogy, the first word relates to the second in a specific, concrete way. “Glove : Hand” expresses an item that is worn on a body part. We need the option that mirrors this wearable-to-body-part relationship precisely.

Given Data / Assumptions:

• Glove is an article worn on the hand.
• Correct choice should be an article worn on a body part in the same direct manner.

Concept / Approach: Identify the relation as “wearable item → body part it is worn on.” Discard pairs where the first term is a body part, where the second is clothing rather than a body part, or where the relation is storage/accessory rather than “worn on.”

Step-by-Step Solution: Evaluate (A) Neck : Collar — reversed; a collar is worn around the neck, not the neck on the collar. (B) Tie : Shirt — a tie is worn with a shirt, not on the shirt as a body part analog. The second term is not a body part. (C) Socks : Feet — socks are worn on feet; this exactly mirrors “Glove : Hand.” (D) Coat : Pocket — a pocket is part of a coat; this is a component relationship, not wearable-to-body-part. (E) Hat : Headrest — second term is not a body part; also the relation is wrong.

Verification / Alternative check: Swap the order to test consistency: “Hand wears glove,” “Feet wear socks.” The parallel holds only for option (C).

Why Other Options Are Wrong: They either reverse the relation, use non-body-part nouns as the second term, or express component/association rather than a garment-to-body-part mapping.

Common Pitfalls: Accepting loosely associated pairs instead of the precise relational mirror required by analogies.

Final Answer: Socks : Feet
