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

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
