Difficulty: Easy
Correct Answer: Sculptor : Chisel
Explanation:
Introduction / Context:The stem pairs a profession with a characteristic hand tool used to perform its core work. We must find an equally specific mapping.
Given Data / Assumptions:Scalpel is a surgeon’s precise cutting tool. A chisel is a sculptor’s carving tool. Other pairs are too broad or mismatched (instrument is a category, cabinet is an output, oven is equipment/venue, cockpit is a place).
Concept / Approach:Prefer specific hand tool → practitioner, not product/place/category. “Sculptor : Chisel” mirrors the precision and specificity of “Surgeon : Scalpel.”
Step-by-Step Solution:
1) Identify the relation: specific tool → professional user. 2) Evaluate options for specificity and direction. 3) Select “Sculptor : Chisel”.Verification / Alternative check:Art and craft references list chisel as a fundamental sculpting tool.
Why Other Options Are Wrong:They are categories, outputs, or places, not specific tools paralleling the stem.
Common Pitfalls:Accepting broad categories (instrument) instead of a specific hand tool.
Final Answer:Sculptor : Chisel
