Question

Find the right word for the pair: Chair: Furniture :: Shoe: ?

• A. Cobbler
• B. Footwear
• C. Socks
• D. Leather

Hint:

Look for the broader category that includes the given object in analogy questions.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

The question presents an analogy relationship between words: Chair: Furniture :: Shoe: ?. To solve it, we need to understand the relationship between 'Chair' and 'Furniture'. A chair is a type of furniture. Similarly, we need to find an option that describes what a shoe is a type of.

1. Option A: Cobbler - A cobbler is a person who mends shoes. This is not a category to which the shoe belongs but rather a profession related to shoes.
2. Option B: Footwear - Footwear is a category under which shoes fall. Just as a chair is a type of furniture, a shoe is a type of footwear. This option correctly follows the analogy pattern from the question.
3. Option C: Socks - Socks are articles of clothing worn on the feet, like shoes, but they represent a different item, not a category for shoes.
4. Option D: Leather - Leather is a material from which shoes can be made, but it does not categorize shoes.

Thus, by understanding the correct relationship required by the question, Option B: Footwear is the appropriate answer.
