Analogy — “Fan : Wings” (blades). Choose the pair where the second term is a key part/component of the first.

Difficulty: Easy

Correct Answer: Spokes

Explanation:


Introduction / Context:
In everyday usage, the “wings” of a fan refer to its blades — an essential component. The analogy therefore encodes a whole-to-part (object → key component) relation. We must identify a wheel’s comparably essential part.


Given Data / Assumptions:

  • “Fan : Wings” uses “wings” to mean blades.
  • We need “wheel : (its component).”
  • Only one option should be a true part rather than a property or action.


Concept / Approach:
Distinguish between component, property (shape), action (what it does), and container/association.


Step-by-Step Solution:

“Spokes” are structural members of many wheels → correct component.“Round” is a shape property, not a part.“Cars” are vehicles that use wheels (association).“Moves” is an action.“Tyre” is also associated, but it is an attachment around the wheel, not the internal component comparable to “blades” for a fan; “spokes” is the textbook component.


Verification / Alternative check:
In standard mechanical description, spokes are integral wheel parts; tyres are separate fitted covers.


Why Other Options Are Wrong:
They do not express a clean whole-to-part relation.


Common Pitfalls:
Confusing properties or accessories with true constituent parts.


Final Answer:
Spokes
