This question was previously asked in
SSC CGL 2016 (Tier 1) Previous Year Question Paper (11-Sep-2016) (Shift 2)
The correct answer is

BOAT

This problem involves identifying similar relationships between pairs of words. We have the pair "BIRD : AEROPLANE." Here, a bird moves through the air naturally, while an aeroplane is a man-made vehicle that moves through air. The relationship in this pair is that an aeroplane is a mode of transport similar to a bird but used by humans.

We need to find a similar relationship for "FISH : ?". A fish naturally moves through water. Therefore, we are looking for a man-made vehicle that moves through water, akin to how an aeroplane compares to a bird. Among the given options:

  • FISHERMAN: A person who catches fish.

  • SOFA: A piece of furniture.

  • BOAT: A man-made vehicle that travels through water.

  • GLASSES: A tool for correcting vision.

The logical choice is "BOAT" as it is a vehicle designed to move through water, just as an aeroplane moves through the air like a bird.

Thus, the correct answer is:

BOAT
