Answer
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
