Difficulty: Easy
Correct Answer: A. Quilt, B. Quinine
Explanation:
Introduction / Context:
The relation required is “problem/condition : customary countermeasure.” In winter, people use quilts to keep warm; for malaria, quinine (historically) and related antimalarials are treatments.
Given Data / Assumptions:
Concept / Approach:
Choose items that directly mitigate the condition: quilts mitigate cold exposure; quinine treats malaria physiologically.
Step-by-Step Solution:
1) Map winter to a common protective item: quilt.2) Map malaria to a direct treatment: quinine.3) Verify symmetry: both are countermeasures.
Verification / Alternative check:
Wool is material, not the typical named item; “mosquito” is a vector, not a treatment. “Epidemic” and “fever” are states/effects, not countermeasures.
Why Other Options Are Wrong:
Common Pitfalls:
Picking related objects (wool) or epidemiological terms (epidemic) instead of direct countermeasures.
Final Answer:
A. Quilt, B. Quinine
