Question

Trainer : Circus :: Helmsman :
Directions: In the question, the first two words are related in a particular manner. You have to choose a word from the options so that a new pair of words is formed where the relation is the same as that of the first pair of words. You are required to consider the secondary meaning of certain words while choosing an answer.

• A. Aircraft
• B. Parade
• C. Boat
• D. Camp
• E. Troupe

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

To solve the analogy problem, we need to understand the relationship between the first pair of words and find a similar relationship for the second pair using the given options. 

1. The relationship between Trainer and Circus can be understood as follows: A trainer is someone who plays an important role in the operations and activities of a circus. The trainer directs, manages, or leads activities within the circus, specifically training the performers or animals.
2. Now, let's identify the role of a Helmsman: A helmsman is a person who steers or directs a ship or boat. The helmsman is responsible for navigating and maneuvering a vessel over water.
3. Given this, we need to equate the structure to another pair where the second member of the pair (as in "Circus") is something that is directed, managed, or led. A Boat is a vessel that a helmsman directs, much like how a trainer manages the various entities within a circus.
4. Let’s review the options:
   • Aircraft - An aircraft is directed by a pilot, not a helmsman.
   • Parade - A parade is typically led by a marshal or a leader, not directly related to a helmsman.
   • Boat - This is the correct answer, as a helmsman directs or controls a boat.
   • Camp - A camp can be led by a leader or organizer but is not specifically directed by a helmsman.
   • Troupe - A troupe can be directed by a director or manager but not by a helmsman.
5. Thus, among the given options, Boat is the most suitable answer as it completes the analogy in the same way.

The correct answer is: Boat.
