Analogy — Choose the pair that best mirrors the relationship: Tagore : Gitanjali

Introduction / Context:
In verbal analogies, we compare the relationship between the first pair and select the option that reflects the same relation for the second pair. “Tagore : Gitanjali” links an author to a specific literary work (Rabindranath Tagore wrote the poetry collection “Gitanjali”). Our task is to find the option that also represents creator → specific creation in literature.

Given Data / Assumptions:

• Tagore is a Nobel laureate poet; Gitanjali is his book.
• Options include scientist→discovery, author→work, inventor→invention, etc.

Concept / Approach:
Identify the semantic link in the stem: (person) → (their particular literary work). Then test each choice for the same mapping and specificity (not just general association, but a correct, recognized pairing).

Step-by-Step Solution:
Check (a) Madam Curie : Radium → scientist→discovery (domain mismatch: science vs literature).Check (b) Shakespeare : Skylark → misattribution; “To a Skylark” is by Shelley.Check (c) Dickens : Oliver Twist → author→novel (correct and specific).Check (d) Nobel : Dynamite → inventor→invention (again science/tech, not literary authorship).

Verification / Alternative check:
Both the stem and option (c) are precise author–work pairs; none of the others match the literary authorship pattern correctly.

Why Other Options Are Wrong:
(a) and (d) are discovery/invention relations; (b) is factually incorrect.

Common Pitfalls:
Choosing a broadly “famous” pair without ensuring the same relation (e.g., inventor→invention rather than author→book), or overlooking authorship accuracy.

Final Answer:
Dickens : Oliver Twist
