The correct answer is
Painter

Analogy Reasoning Solution

The question asks to identify the relationship between the first pair of words (Canvas : Artist) and apply it to the second pair (Wall : ?).

Understanding the Relationship

  • Canvas : Artist: A canvas is the surface on which an artist creates their work. The artist is the person who uses the canvas.

Applying the Relationship

  • Wall : ?: Similarly, a wall serves as a surface for certain types of work. We need to find the person whose primary work involves using a wall as a surface.

Identifying the Missing Term

  • A contractor manages projects.
  • A carpenter works with wood.
  • A mason builds with bricks or stone.
  • A painter applies paint to surfaces, frequently using walls as their canvas.

Therefore, the painter is the professional who uses a wall in a way analogous to how an artist uses a canvas.

The correct option is the one that represents the painter.

Correct Option: 4. Painter
