Question

Choose the word·pair which has similar relationship to the word-pair given:
Orator: Speech ::

• A. cooker: food
• B. onlooker : look
• C. singer : song
• D. error: mistake

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

To find the word pair with a similar relationship to 'Orator: Speech', we need to understand the relationship between these two words. An 'Orator' is a person who delivers a 'Speech', meaning the profession or activity associated with the person is indicated by the second word. Let's analyze each option:

1. cooker: food - Here, a 'cooker' is an object, whereas 'food' is what is cooked, not directly the activity of the cooker. This does not imply a profession or activity similar to the original pair.
2. onlooker: look - An 'onlooker' is someone who watches something. The activity isn't creating a 'look'; it's an observational role, which is not directly parallel to the creation involved in 'Orator: Speech'.
3. singer: song - A 'Singer' is a person who performs or creates a 'Song'. This pair shows a clear relationship between a person and the activity related to their role, similar to 'Orator: Speech'. Hence, this pair demonstrates the same relationship as the original.
4. error: mistake - 'Error' and 'mistake' are synonyms and do not represent a person-to-activity relationship.

Thus, the correct answer is singer : song. This pair correctly mirrors the relationship in 'Orator: Speech' by showing a connection between a person and their activity or creation.
