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. Chisel
• B. Water
• C. Color
• D. Stone
• E. Drill

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

This question is an analogy question from the Verbal and Logical Ability section. The task is to determine the relationship between the first pair of words and find a word from the options that holds the same relationship with the given word "Sculptor".

1. First, let's analyze the relationship between the words "Artist" and "Paint":
   • An Artist is someone who creates art, often using paint as a medium. Thus, paint is a material or tool used by an artist.
2. Now, apply the same relationship to the second part, "Sculptor":
   • A Sculptor is someone who creates sculptures, often using stone as the material for their work.
3. Let's consider all the options to find the best match:
   • Chisel - This is a tool used by a sculptor, not the medium or material.
   • Water - Sculptors do not commonly use water as a primary medium.
   • Color - Similar to paint but does not match the sculptor's medium.
   • Stone - This is the raw material or medium used by sculptors, just as paint is used by artists.
   • Drill - Another tool used by sculptors, not the medium.

From this analysis, it is clear that the correct answer is "Stone" as it serves the same role for a sculptor as paint does for an artist. Therefore, the correct option is Stone.
