Question

.
Which word set completes the analogy?

thief : steals ::


plants : gardener


hopes : faith


chef : cooks


mows : grass

Answer 1

In the analogy "thief : steals," the relationship is that a thief is a person who steals. We are looking for a similar relationship where the first word represents a type of person and the second word describes an action they perform.

Let's examine the options:

1. **plants : gardener** - A gardener tends to plants, but "plants" is not an action associated with a gardener.
2. **hopes : faith** - This does not represent a person performing an action.
3. **chef : cooks** - A chef is a person who cooks, similar to how a thief is a person who steals.
4. **mows : grass** - This represents an action related to the grass but does not indicate a person.

The best choice that completes the analogy is:

**chef : cooks**

So, the completed analogy is: thief : steals :: chef : cooks.
