Teacher is related to class in the same way that driver is related to which of the following?

Difficulty: Easy

Correct Answer: Vehicle

Explanation:


Introduction / Context:
This analogy problem asks you to compare roles and the primary group or object they are responsible for. A teacher handles, guides, and manages a class of students. Similarly, a driver is responsible for something specific in the context of transportation. The question checks whether you can identify the correct unit under the control of a driver.


Given Data / Assumptions:

  • Given relationship: teacher is related to class.
  • We must find the similar relationship for driver.
  • Options: brake, wheel, parts, vehicle, seat.
  • We assume typical roles: teachers with students, drivers with vehicles.


Concept / Approach:
A teacher does not simply operate a single object; instead, the teacher has responsibility for the entire class, which is a group of students. In a similar way, a driver is responsible for operating and controlling an entire vehicle, not merely one of its parts. The driver uses brakes and the wheel, but those are tools inside the vehicle. The correct analogy is therefore driver : vehicle, mirroring teacher : class as "person in charge" related to "unit under their control".


Step-by-Step Solution:

Step 1: Understand the first pair. The teacher manages and directs the class as a whole. Step 2: Identify that class is the main working unit or group for the teacher. Step 3: For a driver, think of what the driver is primarily responsible for in daily work. Step 4: A driver operates the entire vehicle, including all its parts, and moves it from one place to another. Step 5: Therefore, the correct parallel relationship is driver : vehicle.


Verification / Alternative check:
A brake is only one component of the vehicle that the driver uses. The wheel is another part that the driver holds to steer. "Parts" is too general and does not describe the main object under the driver's responsibility. A seat is simply a place where the driver sits. None of these options match the broad relationship between teacher and class. Only vehicle represents the entire unit that is under the control of the driver, just as the class is the full group under the guidance of the teacher.


Why Other Options Are Wrong:
Brake, wheel, and seat are merely components or parts of a vehicle, not the complete system. They are comparable to a single student in a class, not the whole class. "Parts" is abstract and does not mirror the specific group relationship seen in teacher : class. That makes all of them incorrect when compared to the comprehensive unit indicated in the first pair.


Common Pitfalls:
Test takers sometimes confuse tools or components used by a professional with the overall object of their responsibility. Always check whether the given example refers to a part or to the whole. In this case, teacher relates to class as a whole, not to a textbook, chalk, or desk. That same logic guides you toward vehicle for the driver.


Final Answer:
The correct analogous relation is that a driver is related to a vehicle in the same way a teacher is related to a class.
