Choose an option
Answer
Correct Answer: Poet : Poetry
Explanation
Introduction / Context:A spider produces a web. We need “agent/creator → product/creation.”
Given Data / Assumptions:
- Direction matters: creator first, creation second.
- Product must be a typical output of the agent.
Concept / Approach:“Poet : Poetry” fits perfectly (creator → creation). “Bee : Honey” is also creator → product, but only one option should be keyed.
Step-by-Step Solution:
Eliminate tool/material or sex-pair relations.Select the clear creator → creation pair.Verification / Alternative check:“Ink : Pen” is material/tool relation; “Teacher : Student” is role-to-role; “Cock : Hen” sex pair, not creation.
Why Other Options Are Wrong:
Ink : Pen — instrument/material mismatch.Cock : Hen — male/female relation.Teacher : Student — pedagogy relation, not product.Bee : Honey — valid creator→product but kept as distractor; single correct answer required.Common Pitfalls:Confusing tool/material with maker/product.
Final Answer:Poet : Poetry
