Analogy — “Win” is associated with a “Competition”; similarly, “Invention” is associated with a ____. (Choose the most fitting context.)

Difficulty: Easy

Correct Answer: Laboratory

Explanation:


Introduction / Context:
Context/venue analogies link an achievement to the setting where it typically occurs. A “Win” commonly occurs in a “Competition.” We must pick the setting most associated with an “Invention.”


Given Data / Assumptions:

  • Winning → Competition (event context).
  • Invention → typically associated with a place of research/creation.


Concept / Approach:
Inventions are commonly developed/tested in a “Laboratory.” While inventions may later become “Products” or “Patents,” the parallel to “competition” as a venue is “laboratory.”


Step-by-Step Solution:

1) Identify relation: achievement → venue.2) Apply: Invention → Laboratory.3) Eliminate outcomes or different relations (product/patent are results; discovery is a different concept; trial is a process).


Verification / Alternative check:
R&D processes often culminate in inventions within lab environments, mirroring win–competition pairing as event–venue symmetry.


Why Other Options Are Wrong:

Product/Patent: results after invention, not the setting.Discovery: conceptually distinct from invention (finding vs creating).Trial: process step, not a venue.


Common Pitfalls:
Choosing “Product” due to association with invention outcomes, not venue parity.


Final Answer:
Laboratory
