Food product analogy: “Grapes is to Wine as Squid is to ______”. Choose the food term that stands to squid as wine stands to grapes.

Introduction / Context:
This analogy connects raw ingredients with the food products or dishes made from them. Grapes are fruit that can be processed to produce wine. Similarly, squid is a sea creature that can be prepared in a particular culinary style with a special name. The question checks knowledge of this specific food term and the ingredient–product relationship.

Given Data / Assumptions:

• First pair: Grapes and Wine. • Second ingredient: Squid. • Options: Ocean, Salad, Calamari, Fishing. • We assume common knowledge that wine is an alcoholic beverage made from fermented grapes.

Concept / Approach:
Grapes are the raw material from which wine is made by fermentation. So the relationship is “raw ingredient : food or beverage made from it”. Squid is used in cooking, and when it is prepared as a dish, especially breaded and fried or grilled, it is commonly called calamari in many cuisines. Words like ocean or fishing are related to squid by environment and activity, but they do not name the food product in the same way wine names the processed product of grapes.

Step-by-Step Solution:
Step 1: Confirm the first relationship. Grapes are processed and fermented to create wine. So we have ingredient to final food or drink product. Step 2: Think about squid as food. In many menus, especially in Italian and Mediterranean cuisines, the dish made from squid is called calamari. Step 3: Analyse each option. Ocean is the natural habitat where squid live, not the dish made from squid. Salad is a general dish that may include many ingredients. Squid salad exists, but salad is not the specific standard name for squid as food. Calamari is the direct culinary term used for cooked squid, usually in restaurants. Fishing is the activity of catching fish and other sea creatures, not the food product. Step 4: Only calamari stands to squid as wine stands to grapes, both being names of food or drink prepared from the raw ingredient.

Verification / Alternative check:
We can restate the relationship: “Grapes are turned into wine; squid is turned into calamari.” This clearly parallels the idea that an ingredient is transformed into a named dish or beverage. Ocean and fishing describe environment and activity, not food. Salad is too general and would parallel grapes only if the question were about a general use like fruit salad, which it is not. Therefore calamari is the most precise and accepted answer.

Why Other Options Are Wrong:
• Ocean: Squid live in the ocean, but the question asks for an analogy like grapes to wine, which is about a product, not habitat. • Salad: A generic dish type, not a specific product of squid comparable to wine from grapes. • Fishing: Describes an activity, not a prepared dish or drink.

Common Pitfalls:
Students sometimes pick a word that is associated with the second item rather than one that has the same relationship type. Here, both fishing and ocean are associated with squid but do not mirror the ingredient to food product relationship. Always match the type of relationship from the first pair when choosing the second pair in analogy questions.

Final Answer:
The correct term that completes the analogy is Calamari.
