Analogy Relationship: Tool and Action

This question tests your ability to identify the relationship between a pair of words and apply that same relationship to find a matching word for the second pair.

The given pair is Knife: Cut. Let's analyze this relationship:

• A Knife is a tool.
• Cut is the primary action or function performed using a knife.

So, the relationship is: Tool :: Action.

Applying the Tool-Action Relationship to 'Pen'

Now we need to find a word that has the same relationship with Pen. We are looking for the primary action or function of a pen.

Let's examine the options:

• 1. Ink: Ink is the substance used *by* the pen, not the action the pen performs.
• 2. Scribble: Scribbling is a *type* of writing, often informal or messy. It's an action, but not the general, primary action.
• 3. Write: Writing is the main purpose and action for which a pen is used. This perfectly matches the Tool :: Action relationship.
• 4. Paper: Paper is the surface *on which* a pen is used. It's the object acted upon, not the action itself.

Conclusion: Finding the Matching Word

Based on the analysis, the word that represents the primary action performed by a Pen, similar to how Cut is the action of a Knife, is Write.

Therefore, the analogy is completed as: Knife: Cut :: Pen: Write.
