Analyzing the Pen: Write :: Knife : Analogy

The question presents an analogy based on the relationship between a tool and its primary function.

  • The first pair is Pen : Write. A pen is a tool used for the action of writing.

Applying Logic to Knife

We need to find a word that relates to Knife in the same way Write relates to Pen.

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

Evaluating the Options

  • Option 1 (Vegetables): Vegetables are items that can be acted upon by a knife, not the action itself.
  • Option 2 (Sharp): 'Sharp' describes a characteristic or quality of a knife, not its function.
  • Option 3 (Cut): This directly represents the primary action performed with a knife, matching the relationship in the first pair (Pen:Write).
  • Option 4 (Blunt): 'Blunt' is the opposite of a sharp quality and does not represent the knife's action.

Conclusion

The correct relationship is Tool : Action. Therefore, a Knife is used to Cut.
