Question

Choose the pair that best expresses the same relationship as: SENTINEL : WATCH

• A. Artist : Paint
• B. Soldier : Battle
• C. Guard : Protect
• D. None of these

Hint:

When two nouns appear (e.g., sentinel : watch}), check if the second is a duty/purpose}. Prefer choices where the second word states the agent’s function}, not a tool or an occasional event.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: Define the core concept
A sentinel is a watcher/protector. Relationship: agent (person) \(⇒\) primary function (verb).
Step 2: Assess choices
(a) Artist : Paint — Agent \(⇒\) action, but "paint" is the method/action of art; not a primary protective function like "watch." Partially similar, not ideal.
(b) Soldier : Battle — Agent \(⇒\) event; "battle" is an incident, not a soldier’s constant duty. The link to function is weak.
(c) Guard : Protect — Agent \(⇒\) primary function. This matches sentinel : watch perfectly. \(⇒\) Best match.
(d) None of these — Incorrect, as (c) provides a perfect match.
Step 3: Summary
Option (c) directly reflects the agent \(⇒\) core function relationship.
\[\boxed{\text{Answer = (c) Guard : Protect}}\]
