Question

Select the option that best completes the analogy.

CONSTITUTION : GOVERNANCE :: ________ : INTERPRETATION

The correct answer is

Grammar

Relationship in the first pair: a constitution is the set of foundational rules that frames and regulates governance; governance is carried out according to it.

We need a body of rules that frames and regulates interpretation. Grammar is the system of rules of a language by which sentences are constructed and understood, so the meaning of any text is interpreted through its grammar.

A lexicon is only a word stock (a vocabulary list), an archive is a store of records, and a canon is an accepted body of works or a general principle; none of these is a governing rule-system for interpreting language in the way a constitution governs a state.

Thus Constitution : Governance (rule-framework : activity it regulates) matches Grammar : Interpretation.

Hence, the answer is Grammar.
