Classification — need satisfier vs unrelated link: Identify the pair that is NOT a “need → satisfier” relation: Water : Thirst, Talent : Education, Food : Hunger, Air : Suffocation.

Difficulty: Easy

Correct Answer: Talent : Education

Explanation:


Introduction / Context:
Three pairs represent a need or problem on the right that is relieved by the resource on the left. One pair does not fit this “satisfier” pattern and instead shows a development/enhancement relation.



Given Data / Assumptions:

  • Thirst is satisfied by water.
  • Hunger is satisfied by food.
  • Suffocation is relieved by air.
  • Education does not satisfy “talent”; education develops or nurtures talent.


Concept / Approach:
Test whether the left-hand item directly removes/alleviates the right-hand condition (thirst/hunger/suffocation). If not, it is the outlier.



Step-by-Step Solution:
1) Water→Thirst = satisfies/quenches.2) Food→Hunger = satisfies.3) Air→Suffocation = relieves/prevents.4) Talent→Education is reversed; education enhances talent, not vice versa, and is not a “need → satisfier.”



Verification / Alternative check:
Switch order to check logic: education→talent growth makes sense; “talent→education” does not follow the same template as others.



Why Other Options Are Wrong:
They correctly pair a condition with its direct remedy/satisfier.



Common Pitfalls:
Equating “improves” with “satisfies.” Development is not satisfaction of a deficiency state.



Final Answer:
Talent : Education
