Question

Choose the word·pair which has similar relationship to the word-pair given:
Ring: Finger::

• A. Handcuff: Hand
• B. Bangle: Arm
• C. Shoe: Foot
• D. Belt: Buckle

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

To solve this analogy question, we need to identify the relationship between the word pair "Ring: Finger" and find a similar relationship among the provided options.

1. Identify the Relationship: The word "Ring" is related to "Finger" because a ring is typically worn on a finger. This indicates a usage or positional relationship where one item is placed on or used with another.
2. Analyze Each Option:
   • Handcuff: Hand - A handcuff is placed around a wrist, which is part of the hand. This relationship involves placing something around a part of the body but is not exactly parallel to "Ring: Finger" which indicates adornment/wearing.
   • Bangle: Arm - A bangle is worn on a wrist or arm, similar to how a ring is worn on a finger. This suggests a usage relationship but involves a different item (bangle instead of ring).
   • Shoe: Foot - A shoe is worn on a foot, paralleling the relationship where a ring is worn on a finger. This option matches the relationship perfectly, where one item is worn on a specific body part.
   • Belt: Buckle - A belt includes a buckle as a part of its structure, which is a component relationship, different from an adornment/wearing relationship.
3. Conclusion: The correct answer is "Shoe: Foot" because, like a ring worn on a finger, a shoe is worn on a foot, representing a clear and direct usage relationship.
