Explanation
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
