Explanation:
The analogy given is:
child : family :: student : ?

To solve this analogy, we need to understand the relationship between the words in the first pair and find a similar relationship in the second pair.

First Pair:
Child is a part of a family. A child is a member of a family and belongs to it.

Second Pair:
The word that completes the analogy is "class". A student is a member of a class and belongs to it. Just like a child is a part of a family, a student is a part of a class.

Option Analysis:
Let's analyze the other options to understand why they are not the correct answer:

b) Teacher:
While a student may have a teacher, the relationship between a student and a teacher is not the same as the relationship between a child and a family. A child is a member of a family, but a student does not "belong" to a teacher in the same way.

c) Parents:
Similar to option b, a student may have parents, but the relationship between a student and parents is not the same as the relationship between a child and a family. A child is a part of a family, but a student does not "belong" to parents in the same way.

d) Brother:
The relationship between a student and a brother is not the same as the relationship between a child and a family. A child is a member of a family, but a student does not "belong" to a brother in the same way.

Conclusion:
The correct word that completes the analogy is "class" (option a) because a student is a member of a class, just like a child is a member of a family.

The analogy presented in the question is "child: family :: student: ?" In this analogy, we need to find a word/option that completes the relationship between "child" and "family" and apply the same relationship to "student".


To understand the relationship between "child" and "family", we can analyze their connection. A child is a part of a family. A family consists of parents and siblings. Thus, the correct answer should represent a part or component of a student's life.


Let's analyze the given options to find the one that fits the analogy:

a) class: A student is a part of a class, just like a child is a part of a family. This option represents the correct relationship between "student" and "class".

b) teacher: While a teacher is an important figure in a student's life, it does not represent the same relationship as "child: family". Therefore, this option is not the correct answer.

c) parents: The relationship between a student and their parents is different from the relationship between a child and their family. A student may have parents, but it does not complete the analogy in the same way as "child: family". Thus, this option is not the correct answer.

d) brother: Similarly, the relationship between a student and their sibling (brother) is different from the relationship between a child and their family. This option does not complete the analogy correctly.


The correct answer is option 'A' - class. The relationship between a child and their family is analogous to the relationship between a student and their class. In both cases, the word represents a part or component of the individual's life.
