Complete the analogy: SCALPEL is to SURGEON as CHISEL is to
Correct answer: B. sculptor
- A. stone
- B. sculptor
- C. hammer
- D. carving
Explanation
The relationship links a tool to the specialist who uses it, so the chisel belongs to the sculptor. Stone is the material and carving is the product, neither of which matches the relationship. Naming the link explicitly before checking the options is what prevents these errors.
