Difficulty: Easy

Correct Answer: Highway : Asphalt

Explanation:


Introduction / Context:
The relation is “object : common material from which it is made or constructed.” Shoes are commonly made of leather; highways are commonly surfaced with asphalt.


Given Data / Assumptions:

  • Highway → Asphalt (surface material).


Concept / Approach:
Match object to characteristic building material, not to people, places, or accessories.


Why Other Options Are Wrong:

  • Bus : Conductor / Medicine : Doctor → object/service matched to a person; wrong relation.
  • Train : wagon → part/vehicle relation, not material.
  • Book : Library → item/place relation.


Final Answer:
Highway : Asphalt
