Analogy — Map professional output: Physician : Treatment :: Judge : ?

Introduction / Context:
The analogy links a professional role with its primary official output. A physician’s professional action produces or administers a treatment. For a judge, we identify the standard formal output delivered in court proceedings.

Given Data / Assumptions:

• Physician → treatment (diagnosis and therapy are core outputs).
• Judge → judgement (formal decision/opinion of the court).
• Punishment can be a consequence of a judgement, but the judge’s defining output is the judgement itself.

Concept / Approach:
Preserve “role → official outcome.” Avoid mapping to places (court), people (lawyer), or downstream consequences (punishment) instead of the official decision document/outcome.

Step-by-Step Solution:
Identify physician’s output: treatment.Identify judge’s corresponding output: judgement.Thus: Physician : Treatment :: Judge : Judgement.

Verification / Alternative check:
In common legal phrasing, a judge “delivers/pronounces judgement.” This is the canonical parallel to a physician “giving treatment.”

Why Other Options Are Wrong:
(a) Court – a place/institution, not an output.
(c) Lawyer – another profession, not the judge’s output.
(d) Punishment – a possible result; the judge still issues the judgement first.

Common Pitfalls:
Confusing consequence (punishment/sentence) with the formal output (judgement). Analogy requires matching the type of relation, not just a related term.

Final Answer:
Judgement
