Analogy — (Recovery Applied) Map audience/consumer by medium: Radio : Listener :: Film : ?

Introduction / Context:
(Recovery applied) The original stem “Radio : Publisher :: Film : ?” is inconsistent: radios are not “published.” Standard test books pair “Radio : Listener” to map medium to its audience. In film, the audience role is “viewer.” We minimally repair the stem to preserve solvability and relational type.

Given Data / Assumptions:

• Radio content is consumed by listeners.
• Film content is consumed by viewers.
• The task is medium → audience, not medium → maker.

Concept / Approach:
Under the Recovery-First Policy, adjust an obvious error to a widely accepted form (“Radio : Listener”). Preserve analogous mapping for film: “Film : Viewer.”

Step-by-Step Solution:
Radio → listener (audience).Film → viewer (audience).Therefore choose “Viewer.”

Verification / Alternative check:
Parallel media-audience pairs: newspaper→reader, radio→listener, film→viewer, theatre→spectator. The mapping is consistent across media.

Why Other Options Are Wrong:
(a) Producer, (d) Director – makers, not audience.
(b) Actor – performer, not consumer.

Common Pitfalls:
Confusing creator roles with consumer roles. The relation type must match across both halves.

Final Answer:
Viewer
