Radio : Listener :: Film : ? — Preserve the “medium → audience” relationship and choose the correct counterpart.

Difficulty: Easy

Correct Answer: Viewer

Explanation:


Introduction / Context:
Here the analogy encodes a medium and the role of the person who receives/consumes it. In “Radio : Listener,” radio is the medium; the receiver is the listener. We must keep the same medium-to-audience mapping for “Film.”



Given Data / Assumptions:

  • Radio is listened to; audience members are listeners.
  • Film is watched; audience members are viewers.
  • Other roles in the options are production roles, not audience roles.


Concept / Approach:
Maintain semantic parity: medium → consumer. So film → viewer. Selecting a producer/actor/director would invert the relation (creator vs consumer), which breaks the analogy’s structure.



Step-by-Step Solution:
Identify consumer role for radio → listener.Identify consumer role for film → viewer.Choose “Viewer.”



Verification / Alternative check:
Common collocations: radio listeners, film viewers, TV viewers. These phrases confirm the standard audience nouns.



Why Other Options Are Wrong:

  • Producer/Director/Actor/Cinematographer: Creators or crew, not the consuming audience.


Common Pitfalls:
Selecting a famous on-screen role (actor) rather than the audience role, due to salience bias.



Final Answer:
Viewer
