Nature : Inherent : : Nurture : ?
Analogy Reasoning: Nature vs. Nurture
This question tests the ability to identify relationships between words and apply them. The core relationship is between a concept and its associated quality or action.
Relationship Analysis
- Nature refers to the inherent qualities of a person or thing, determined by genetics or constitution. The term Inherent directly describes this characteristic – existing as a natural or basic part.
- Nurture refers to the upbringing, environment, and experiences that influence the development of a person. The action or process most closely associated with nurture is to Foster, meaning to encourage or promote the development or growth of something.
Option Evaluation
- Innate: This word is a synonym for inherent and relates closely to Nature, not Nurture.
- Character: While influenced by nurture, character is an outcome, not the direct action of nurturing.
- Trait: Similar to character, a trait is a distinguishing quality that can result from both nature and nurture, but it's not the process itself.
- Foster: This verb means to encourage development, directly aligning with the process and action associated with Nurture.
Therefore, the relationship 'Nature is associated with being Inherent' is mirrored by 'Nurture is associated with the action to Foster'.
Selected Answer Rationale
The correct option is the one that mirrors the relationship established by Nature : Inherent. Since Nurture involves promoting development, Foster is the most fitting term.
