Question

FLEET : NAVY
Choose the pair of words that best expresses the relationship similar to the one above:

• A. chapter : book
• B. seats : auditorium
• C. letter : word
• D. drop : ocean

Hint:

Identify whether the relationship is “part of a physical whole,” “member of a group,” or “collection within a system” — here it was “part of an organized whole.”

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

A fleet is a collection of ships, and a navy is an organization that contains and operates such fleets. The relationship is “part (collection) of a larger whole.”
Option (A) — chapter : book — fits perfectly because a chapter is a part of a book.
Option (B) — seats : auditorium — is a part-whole relationship but of physical objects, not collections within an organization. It’s close but less precise.
Option (C) — letter : word — is also a part-whole relationship but refers to the building blocks of language rather than organized groupings.
Option (D) — drop : ocean — is a part-whole relationship in a physical scale sense but lacks the organizational element present in fleet : navy.
Thus, (A) is the closest parallel.
