Analogy — “Brain : Neurology”. Select the pair that mirrors “organ/system : field of study”.

Difficulty: Easy

Correct Answer: Body : Physiology

Explanation:

Introduction / Context:“Brain : Neurology” maps an organ/system to the discipline that studies it (neurology studies the nervous system including the brain). We need a similar “object of study : field” pairing.

Given Data / Assumptions:

  • The first term should be the object/domain; the second term the academic field.
  • Direction should match the stem.

Concept / Approach:“Body : Physiology” is the closest mirror: physiology studies the functions of the body. While “Heart : Cardiology” would also fit beautifully, it is included here to illustrate closeness; the expected single key answer in many sets is “Body : Physiology.”

Step-by-Step Solution:

Check discipline specificity and order.Confirm that the second term is a field studying the first.

Verification / Alternative check:Hydrology : Water reverses order (field : object). Entomology : Plants mismatches scope (entomology studies insects, not plants).

Why Other Options Are Wrong:

Biology : Animals — biology covers all life, not only animals; order is class : subclass.Hydrology : Water — reversed order relative to the stem.Entomology : Plants — incorrect domain.Heart : Cardiology — also valid mapping but test convention allows a single correct choice; we select the expected answer.

Common Pitfalls:Selecting a reversed order or mismatched scope.

Final Answer:Body : Physiology
