Question

Choose the pair that best expresses the same relationship as: FLORIST : FLOWERS

• A. Chef : Food
• B. Author : Books
• C. Painter : Canvas
• D. None of these

Hint:

For analogies, first name the relation} (e.g., profession \(⇒\) item provided, creator \(⇒\) creation, tool \(⇒\) user). Then eliminate choices that shift to a different relation.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Define the core relationship
A florist works with flowers by selling/providing them.
Relationship: profession \(⇒\) item handled/provided.
Step 2: Evaluate answer choices
(a) Chef : Food — A chef provides/prepares food. \(⇒\) Correct.
(b) Author : Books — An author creates books, not primarily “sells” them. Relationship doesn't fit.
(c) Painter : Canvas — A painter uses a canvas; the canvas isn't the primary item provided. Relationship doesn't fit.
(d) None of these — Incorrect, as (a) is a match.
Step 3: Determine the best fit
Option (a) directly reflects the profession \(⇒\) item handled/provided relationship.
\[\boxed{\text{Answer = (a) Chef : Food}}\]
