Question

Select the option that is related to the third word in the same way as the second word is related to the first word. (The words must be considered as meaningful English words and must not be related to each other based on the number of letters/number of consonants/vowels in the word.)

Architect ∶ Design ∶∶ Farmer ?

The correct answer is Crop

The question asks us to find the relationship between the first pair of words and apply the same relationship to the third word to find the fourth word. This is a classic word analogy problem.

Understanding the Analogy: Architect & Design

Let's look at the first pair: Architect & Design.

  • An Architect is a person who plans, designs, and oversees the construction of buildings.
  • A Design is a plan or drawing showing how something will be made or done, specifically created by an architect for a building or structure.

The relationship here is that an Architect creates a Design. The architect is the professional, and the design is the primary output or creation of their work.

Applying the Analogy: Farmer & ?

Now we need to apply this same "Person : Creation/Output" relationship to the third word, Farmer.

  • A Farmer is a person who works on a farm, typically growing crops or raising animals.
  • What does a Farmer primarily create or produce as the output of their farming work?

Analyzing the Options

Let's examine the given options to see which one fits the relationship:

  1. Crop: A crop is a cultivated plant that is grown on a large scale commercially, especially a cereal, fruit, or vegetable. A farmer cultivates and produces crops. This fits the "Person : Creation/Output" relationship, similar to how an architect creates a design.
  2. Tractor: A tractor is a powerful vehicle used on farms for pulling machinery and trailers. A farmer uses a tractor as a tool, but they do not create or produce the tractor itself as the primary output of their farming activity.
  3. Agriculture: Agriculture is the science or practice of farming, including cultivation of the soil for the growing of crops and the rearing of animals to provide food, wool, and other products. This is the field or industry that a farmer works within, not the specific output they create.
  4. Farm: A farm is an area of land and its buildings, used for growing crops and rearing animals. A farmer works on a farm, but the farm itself is the place or business, not the output created by the farmer's work in the same way a design is the output of an architect's work. While a farmer might improve or manage a farm, 'Crop' is a more direct output analogous to 'Design'.

Conclusion

Comparing the relationship "Architect : Design" (Person : Creation/Output) to the options for "Farmer : ?", the option that best fits is Crop. A farmer's primary creation or output from their work is the crop they grow.

Therefore, the analogy is: Architect is to Design as Farmer is to Crop.
