Question:

In the following question find out the alternative which will replace the question mark?
Soldier : Gun : : Blacksmith : ?

Options:

Wood

Sword

Iron

Hammer

Correct Answer:

Hammer

Explanation:

The answer is Hammer.

The analogy is between a soldier and their weapon, and a blacksmith and their tool. A soldier uses a gun, and a blacksmith uses a hammer. So, the missing word must be the tool that a blacksmith uses. Of the answer choices, only hammer fits this description.

The other answer choices are not relevant to the analogy. Wood is a material that can be used to make weapons, sword is a type of weapon, iron is a metal that can be used to make weapons, and Fiji is a country. None of these are tools that a blacksmith uses.
