Question

Medicine: Illness :: Law:?

• A. Punishment
• B. Crime
• C. Court
• D. Discipline

Hint:

In analogies, identify the relationship first—is it purpose, function, result, etc.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

The given analogy is a relationship between two subjects, and we need to identify a similar relationship with the options provided.

Medicine: Illness

• Medicine is used to treat or manage an Illness.

Law: ?

• We need to determine what Law is primarily associated with or used to manage.

Let's analyze the options:

1. Punishment: This is the consequence of breaking a law, not something that law directly manages.
2. Crime: This is an action that infringes upon the law; the law is established to manage or prevent crime.
3. Court: This is an institution where legal issues are adjudicated, not what the law manages.
4. Discipline: This refers to the act of training or maintaining behavior, which is tangentially related to law enforcement but isn't the focus of law itself.

Considering the analogy, Law is to Crime as Medicine is to Illness. 
Hence, the correct answer is "Crime."
