In the following question find out the alternative which will replace the question mark?
Coins : mint : : Bricks : ?

Kiln

The answer is OPTION 4 -Kiln.

The analogy is between coins and bricks, and mints and kilns. Coins are made in mints, and bricks are made in kilns. So, the missing word must be the place where bricks are made. Of the answer choices, only kiln fits this description.

The other answer choices are not relevant to the analogy. Foundry is a place where metal is cast, furnace is a place where heat is produced, cemetery is a place where the dead are buried. None of these are places where bricks are made.
