Identify the necessary counterpart for the action.
- 'Harvest' means to gather agricultural yield.
- Essential object of harvesting: a crop.
- 'Autumn' is a frequent season for harvesting but not necessary across all climates/crops.
- 'Stockpile' is a possible result or subsequent action, not a prerequisite.
- 'Tractor' is a tool sometimes used, but harvesting can be manual or mechanized with different equipment.
Concept/ApproachChoose the option that is logically necessary (precondition) for the verb, not merely correlated in time, means, or outcome.Step-by-Step evaluation1) Ask: what must exist to harvest? A crop must exist.2) Other options are contingent (season, tools, outcomes), hence not essential.Verification/AlternativeDefinition check: Harvest (v.) — to gather a ripened crop; the definition itself pairs the action with 'crop'.Common pitfallsEquating high correlation (e.g., autumn) with logical necessity; confusing tool with object.Final Answercrop
