Understanding the Analogy
In the analogy "Plane : Pilot : : Ship : ?", we need to identify a relationship between the first pair (Plane and Pilot) and find a corresponding term for the second pair (Ship and ?).
Relationship Analysis
- A Plane is an aircraft that requires a Pilot to operate it. The pilot is the individual responsible for flying the plane.
- Similarly, a Ship is a vessel that is operated by a Captain. The captain is the individual responsible for navigating and commanding the ship.
Evaluating the Options
- a) Captain: This is the correct choice, as the captain is to the ship what the pilot is to the plane. Both are responsible for overall operation and safety.
- b) Soldier: While soldiers may be on a ship, they do not have the same direct operational role as a pilot or captain.
- c) Navy: This refers to a branch of the military and is not an individual role like pilot or captain.
- d) Major: A major is a military rank and not directly related to the operation of a ship.
Conclusion
The best answer is a) Captain, as it maintains the same operational relationship that a pilot has with a plane. Thus, the analogy holds true: just as a pilot operates a plane, a captain operates a ship.
