Analogy — “Clay : Potter : Pots”. Find the set that matches material → maker → product.

Difficulty: Easy

Correct Answer: Cloth : Tailor : Clothes

Explanation:


Introduction / Context:
We need the same three-term production chain: material → artisan/agent → finished product. The stem provides “Clay → Potter → Pots.”


Given Data / Assumptions:

  • Material must be transformed by an agent.
  • Outcome must be a product category resulting from that material.


Concept / Approach:
“Cloth : Tailor : Clothes” mirrors the relation precisely: cloth (material) is worked by a tailor (agent) to produce clothes (product). “Leather : Cobbler : Shoes” also fits; however, only one option can be correct in this item’s design.


Step-by-Step Solution:

Match roles and direction: input → worker → output.Eliminate sets mixing tools/consumers rather than products.


Verification / Alternative check:
Other options either include consumers/providers (doctor/injection) or devices/phenomena (electricity/bulb/light) rather than a clear artisan transforming raw material.


Why Other Options Are Wrong:

Doctor : Injection : Pills — medical context, not material transformation.Blackboard : Chalk : Teacher — classroom objects/people; not a production chain.Electricity : Bulb : Light — cause/device/effect, not material–maker–product.Leather : Cobbler : Shoes — also valid mapping, but the key expects a single best answer; follow the chosen one.


Common Pitfalls:
Choosing tool/effect chains instead of material-to-product craftsmanship.


Final Answer:
Cloth : Tailor : Clothes
