Role and tool association: “Music : Guitar : Performer” (domain : instrument : person). Choose the best parallel.

Introduction / Context:
Role-tool analogies map a domain to a characteristic tool and the person who uses it. In “Music : Guitar : Performer”, the domain is music, the tool is guitar, and the person is the performer who plays it. A correct analog maintains (domain : tool : practitioner) in the same order.

Given Data / Assumptions:
We aim for a clear, concrete skill or act linked to a distinctive tool and practitioner.

Concept / Approach:
“Trick : Rope : Acrobat” fits the mapping: in a circus/acrobatics domain, rope (tightrope, aerial rope) is a characteristic apparatus/tool, and an acrobat is the practitioner. This preserves the exact role order and professional association analogous to the performer with a guitar in music.

Step-by-Step Solution:

Verification / Alternative check:
“Food : Recipe : Cook” uses a plan/description (recipe) rather than a tool; “Patient : Medicine : Doctor” inverts roles (person first, then tool). “Dance : Tune : Instrument” jumbles domain elements and lacks a person role.

Why Other Options Are Wrong:
They violate the domain → tool → practitioner order or replace the tool with an instruction set.

Common Pitfalls:
Confusing instructions (recipe) with instruments/tools, or swapping the person's position in the sequence.

Final Answer:
Trick : Rope : Acrobat
