The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

Jewellery is an outward symbol that suggests a person's wealth. The pair that carries the same 'is a visible symbol of' relationship is spectacles and learning, since spectacles are commonly taken as a sign of a studious, learned person.

  • Spectacles : Learning is correct because spectacles are a familiar symbol of a scholarly, well read person, just as jewellery signals wealth.
  • Turban : Piety is wrong because a turban is an item of dress and not a settled symbol of piety in the same way.
  • Stethoscope : Sailing is wrong because a stethoscope belongs to medicine and has nothing to do with sailing.
  • Boomerang : Royalty is wrong because a boomerang is a throwing tool with no link to royalty.

The pair that mirrors jewellery standing for wealth is spectacles standing for learning.
