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)

Car: Seat belt :: Fan:?

The correct answer is
Blade

Analogy Breakdown: Car and Seat Belt

The question presents a word analogy problem. We need to identify the relationship between the first pair of words, "Car" and "Seat belt", and then apply that same relationship to find the missing word related to "Fan".

The relationship between a Car and a Seat belt is that a seat belt is an essential safety component or part that is found within a car. It's a physical component integrated into the car's structure for a specific function (safety).

Applying the Relationship to Fan

Now, we apply this "component/part of" relationship to the word Fan. We need to find which of the given options represents a key physical component or part of a fan, similar to how a seat belt is part of a car.

Evaluating the Options for Fan

Let's examine each option:

  • Wind: A fan produces wind, but wind is an effect or output, not a physical part of the fan itself.
  • Room: A fan is usually placed in a room, but the room is the environment, not a component of the fan.
  • Blade: The blades are the rotating parts that are essential for a fan to operate and create airflow. This fits the "component/part of" relationship.
  • Electricity: A fan uses electricity as its power source, but electricity is energy, not a physical component of the fan structure.

Conclusion: The Correct Relation

Based on the analysis, the word that shares the same relationship with "Fan" as "Seat belt" does with "Car" is Blade. The blades are a fundamental, physical part of the fan.
