Introduction / Context:
Jaundice is a condition typically associated with liver dysfunction (e.g., bile pigment accumulation). The task is to select a pair where the first term is a medical condition commonly associated with the organ named second.
Given Data / Assumptions:
- Base: jaundice → liver (condition ↔ organ association).
- Correct: condition ↔ organ where it manifests.
- Exclude treatments, causes, symbols, or abstract processes.
Concept / Approach:
Among the options, “rash : skin” is a classic condition-to-organ pairing: a rash manifests on the skin. Dialysis is a treatment, not a condition; the others are non-medical or environmental/figurative associations.
Step-by-Step Solution:
Condition-organ check: jaundice relates to the liver; rash relates to the skin.“dialysis : kidney” — therapy to support kidney function; not a condition.“smog : lung” — environmental pollutant affecting lungs; not a condition itself.“valentine : heart” — symbolic association, not medical.“imagination : brain” — cognitive process, not a disease/condition.
Verification / Alternative check:
Both correct pairs align as condition → principal site/organ.
Why Other Options Are Wrong:
They represent treatments, causes, or metaphors rather than medical conditions tied to a specific organ.
Common Pitfalls:
Mistaking any organ-related word (e.g., therapy) for a condition; confirm the first term names an ailment/sign.
Final Answer:
rash : skin
