Question

In this question three words are given which are related in some way. The same relationship obtains among the words in one of the four alternatives given under it, find the correct alternative-
Music : Guitar : Performer

• A. Dance : Tune : Instrument
• B. Food : Recipe : Cook
• C. Patient : Medicine : Doctor
• D. Trick : Rope : Acrobat

Hint:

To solve word-triplet analogies, define a generalized sentence that connects the three terms: "An Acrobat uses a Rope to perform a Trick," which matches "A Performer uses a Guitar to produce Music."

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Step 1: Understanding the Question:
We need to analyze the logical relationship between the three terms in "Music : Guitar : Performer" and find the option that shares the exact same relationship.

Step 2: Detailed Explanation:
Let us decode the relationship between the words in the given analogy:
- Performer is the human agent (the artist) who performs an act.
- Guitar is the physical tool or instrument used by the performer to execute their performance.
- Music is the artistic output or creation produced by the performer using that instrument.
So, the relationship is:

Output/Creation : Tool/Instrument : Agent/Artist.
Now, let us evaluate the options:
- Option (A) Dance : Tune : Instrument: "Instrument" is not a human agent. Thus, this is incorrect.
- Option (B) Food : Recipe : Cook: "Recipe" is a set of instructions, not a physical tool/instrument. Thus, this is incorrect.
- Option (C) Patient : Medicine : Doctor: "Patient" is not an artistic output/creation. Thus, this is incorrect.
- Option (D) Trick : Rope : Acrobat:
- Acrobat is the human agent (the artist).
- Rope is the physical tool/instrument used by the acrobat to execute their performance.
- Trick is the artistic output/act created by the acrobat using the rope.
This matches the original relationship perfectly.

Step 3: Final Answer:
(D) Trick : Rope : Acrobat
