Difficulty: Easy
Correct Answer: Buddhists : Pagoda
Explanation:
Introduction / Context:
This analogy tests general knowledge of religious communities and their places of worship. “Jew : Synagogue” is a standard mapping. We must choose the option that similarly and correctly maps a community to its recognized worship place.
Given Data / Assumptions:
Concept / Approach:
“Buddhists : Pagoda” is correct and widely recognized, especially in East and Southeast Asia. The other options either mismatch the community to the place or pair a community with its scripture instead of a place. “Parsis : Temple” is imprecise; Zoroastrian places are “Fire Temples.” “Jains : Fire Temple” is incorrect (Jains worship in temples called Derasar/Basadi). “Hindus : Vedas” mismatches place with scriptures.
Step-by-Step Solution:
1) Confirm community → place pairs.2) Identify the single correct mapping.3) Select “Buddhists : Pagoda.”
Verification / Alternative check:
Standard references in world religions list pagodas (and monasteries/temples) as Buddhist places; the others are erroneous or ill-typed pairings.
Why Other Options Are Wrong:
Common Pitfalls:
Confusing sacred texts with places of worship, or mixing communities’ places.
Final Answer:
Buddhists : Pagoda
