Understanding the Analogy
The analogy presented is "Sadist : Injury :: ? : ?". To solve this, we need to analyze the relationship between the words in the first pair.
Relationship Analysis
- Sadist: A sadist is someone who derives pleasure from causing pain or injury to others.
- Injury: This refers to the harm or pain inflicted on someone.
Thus, the relationship is that a sadist causes injury.
Finding the Comparable Pair
Now, we need to find a similar relationship among the options given.
Option Analysis
- a) Opportunist : Generosity
- An opportunist takes advantage of situations but does not inherently inflict harm. This does not match the sadist-injury relationship.
- b) Priest : Church
- A priest serves a church but does not have a direct relationship of causing harm or injury. This is also not a match.
- c) Dentist : Teeth
- A dentist works with teeth, but the relationship does not involve causing harm in the same way a sadist does. This option is not suitable either.
- d) Thief : Robbery
- A thief is someone who commits robbery, which involves taking something unlawfully, often causing harm or distress to the victim. This aligns perfectly with the sadist-injury relationship.
Conclusion
The correct answer is option D, as it maintains the same pattern where one term (thief) is associated with an action (robbery) that can inflict harm or distress, just as a sadist is associated with injury.
