Select the best related pair: Necromancy is to Ghosts as which of the following pairs shows a similar practice to object relationship?

Introduction / Context:
This analogy question is about matching an occult or mystical practice with the entities it is associated with. Necromancy traditionally involves communication with the dead or with ghosts. You must find another pair that reflects a similar relationship between a practice and the beings or forces it deals with. Understanding such word pairs is useful in advanced vocabulary and reasoning questions.

Given Data / Assumptions:
1) Necromancy is a form of magic or occult practice focused on the dead, especially ghosts or spirits of the dead.
2) Ghosts are the supernatural entities associated with necromancy.
3) The options are Romance : Stories, Magic : Amulets, Alchemy : Gold, and Sorcery : Spirit.
4) We look for a relationship of Practice or Art to Target Entity, not just any loose association.

Concept / Approach:
The key connection in the model pair is that necromancy is a specialised type of magic aimed at contacting or controlling ghosts. The second word is not an instrument but the central object or being involved. Among the options, Sorcery is another occult practice, and Spirit is a supernatural entity. Sorcery and spirit thus form a similar practice to entity relationship. Other options either link a practice with a physical result or link categories in a weaker way.

Step-by-Step Solution:
Step 1: Restate the original pair. Necromancy is a magical practice that deals particularly with ghosts. Step 2: Examine Romance : Stories. Romance is a style or theme in stories, but this is genre to medium, not a practice to specific entity relation. Step 3: Examine Magic : Amulets. Amulets are objects believed to have magical power, but magic is a broad practice and amulet is more like a tool or artefact, not the main entity dealt with. Step 4: Examine Alchemy : Gold. Alchemy is a historical practice that sought to transform base metals into gold, so this pair is practice to desired product, not practice to spirit type. Step 5: Examine Sorcery : Spirit. Sorcery is another term for the practice of magic or witchcraft, and spirits are supernatural beings that sorcerers may attempt to contact or command. Step 6: Identify Sorcery : Spirit as matching the pattern where the first word is an occult practice and the second is the class of supernatural beings associated with that practice.

Verification / Alternative check:
Compare parallel sentences. Necromancy deals with ghosts, and sorcery deals with spirits. This has the same form and sounds natural. By contrast, romance deals with stories is weaker and not about a specific entity. Magic deals with amulets treats amulets as tools rather than beings. Alchemy seeks to create gold but is not defined by communicating with gold in the way necromancy is defined by communicating with ghosts.

Why Other Options Are Wrong:
Romance : Stories connects a theme to a medium, not a practice to a spiritual entity. Magic : Amulets links a general practice to one type of object rather than a class of beings. Alchemy : Gold focuses on material transformation. All of these break the pattern of practice to supernatural entity that appears in Necromancy : Ghosts.

Common Pitfalls:
Students sometimes select Alchemy : Gold because it feels close to classical magic, but they ignore that the second word is a metal, not an entity. The question is clearly about practices dealing with non physical beings. Keeping this focus prevents confusion and makes Sorcery : Spirit an obvious choice.

Final Answer:
The correct related pair is Sorcery : Spirit, which mirrors the relationship between Necromancy and Ghosts.
