Four pairs of words are given. In three pairs the words are related in the same way. Choose the pair in which the words are related differently.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → Teacher : School
Find the link between the two words of each pair. In three pairs the second word is the tool the worker uses.
Option (1) Barber : Comb — a barber sets hair with a comb: worker and tool.
Option (2) Teacher : School — a school is where a teacher works, not a tool.
Option (3) Painter : Brush — a painter paints with a brush: worker and tool.
Option (4) Carpenter : Saw — a carpenter cuts wood with a saw: worker and tool.
Comb, brush and saw are tools; a school is a place of work, so Teacher : School is the odd pair.
