Question

\(\underline{\hspace{1cm}}\) is to surgery as writer is to \(\underline{\hspace{1cm}}\)
Which one of the following options maintains a similar logical relation in the above sentence?

• A. Plan, outline
• B. Hospital, library
• C. Doctor, book
• D. Medicine, grammar

Hint:

Always identify whether the relationship is creator–creation, tool–function, or place–activity before choosing an analogy.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

A writer produces or creates a book. Similarly, we need someone who performs surgery.

Step 1: Identify the relationship.
Writer : Book is a creator–creation relationship.
So the first blank must also be a person related to surgery (as performer).

Step 2: Check each option.
(A) Plan : outline — Not a creator–creation pair.
(B) Hospital : library — These are places, not creators.
(C) Doctor : book — A doctor performs surgery, and a writer creates a book. This matches the pattern.
(D) Medicine : grammar — No creator relationship.

Step 3: Final conclusion.
Doctor is to surgery as writer is to book.
