Question

Answer

Understanding the Analogy
In the analogy presented, ARSENAL: GUNS, we need to decipher the relationship between the two terms. An 'arsenal' is a place where weapons, specifically guns, are stored or manufactured. This establishes a direct relationship where the first term is a facility or location associated with the second term, which is a specific type of item.
Analyzing the Options
Now, let's explore the given options in the context of the term 'INDEX':
- a) Name of Author: This does not relate to an index directly as it refers to a specific individual and not a collection or structure of information.
- b) Glossary: A glossary is a collection of terms and their definitions but is not specifically structured like an index. It serves a different purpose in a book.
- c) Contents: The 'contents' refer to the table of contents in a book, which lists the chapters or sections along with their page numbers. This is a structured overview of the content, similar to how an arsenal is a structured collection of weapons (guns).
- d) Summary: A summary provides a brief overview of the text but does not organize the material in a structured format like an index or contents.
Conclusion
Given the relationships identified, the term 'INDEX' is most appropriately related to 'Contents,' as both serve as structured overviews of larger collections of information. Thus, the correct answer is option c) Contents.
