Answer

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:

  • Jews worship in synagogues.
  • We seek another community → worship place mapping.

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:

  • Parsis : Temple: Too generic; the distinctive term is “Fire Temple.”
  • Jains : Fire Temple: Incorrect; not a Jain place of worship.
  • Hindus : Vedas: Scripture, not a place.

Common Pitfalls:Confusing sacred texts with places of worship, or mixing communities’ places.

Final Answer:Buddhists : Pagoda
