Solve this multiple-choice question and choose the correct option.

Accepted Answer

Introduction / Context:The analogy WAITRESS : RESTAURANT expresses a worker and the usual workplace. Select the option that preserves this profession-to-workplace mapping. Given Data / Assumptions: Waitresses customarily work in restaurants. Correct answer should be a standard role paired with its typical location of employment. Concept / Approach: Eliminate pairs that show tool, product, or action rather than workplace. Choose a profession matched to an institutional location. Step-by-Step Solution: 1) Identify relation: person in role → workplace.2) 'doctor : diagnosis' — task, not place.3) 'actor : role' — role is function, not location.4) 'driver : truck' — tool/vehicle, not workplace.5) 'teacher : school' — canonical workplace mapping; matches pattern.6) 'author : book' — product, not place. Verification / Alternative check: Both pairs reflect occupation tied to an institution (waitress→restaurant, teacher→school). Why Other Options Are Wrong: doctor : diagnosis — activity instead of place.actor : role — not a location.driver : truck — equipment, not workplace.author : book — output, not workplace. Common Pitfalls: Mixing up workplace with actions or tools associated with a profession. Final Answer: teacher : school
