The correct answer is

Student

The analogy presented is "Medicine : Patient :: Education : ?". This is an analogy of a service and its recipient. Medicine is a service provided to a patient. Following this logic, we need to identify the recipient of education.

Let's analyze the options:

  • Teacher: A teacher provides education, but they are not the recipient.
  • School: A school is a place of education, not the recipient.
  • Student: A student is the recipient of education.
  • Tuition: Tuition is the cost of education, not the recipient.

Therefore, the correct answer is "Student" because education is provided to students. The relationship is one of service provider to service receiver. Just as a doctor (implicitly suggested by "medicine") treats a patient, an educator (implicitly suggested by "education") educates a student. The analogy hinges on the relationship between the service provided and the recipient of that service.
