Book is to Author as Painting is to __?
Painter
Painter is correct.
The relationship in the first pair is that of a creation and its creator: a book is written by an author.
Applying the same relationship to the second pair, a painting is made by a painter, so the missing word is the person whose specific work is painting.
Artist is a broad word that covers musicians, dancers, sculptors and actors too, so it does not match the specific pairing the way author matches book. A sculptor creates sculptures and a composer creates music, so neither creates paintings.
Hence, Painting is to Painter exactly as Book is to Author.
