Eiffel tower = Paris; Big ben clock tower = ?

Appeared in: AIIMS Delhi NO- 2019

Explanation

The question presents an analogy where the relationship is between a famous landmark and the city where it is located.
The first pair establishes this relationship: The Eiffel Tower is a world-renowned landmark situated in Paris, France.
Applying this pattern, the question asks for the location of the Big Ben clock tower.
Big Ben is the common name for the iconic clock tower at the north end of the Palace of Westminster in London, UK.
Therefore, the correct corresponding city for Big Ben is London.

Option B: The USA has many famous landmarks, such as the Statue of Liberty in New York City and the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, but Big Ben is not located there.
Option C: Italy is home to iconic landmarks like the Colosseum in Rome and the Leaning Tower of Pisa, but not Big Ben.
Option D: Japan's famous landmarks include the Tokyo Tower, the Fushimi Inari Shrine, and Mount Fuji. Big Ben is located in the United Kingdom, not Japan.

Clinical Relevance

Nursing practice connection: This is primarily an exam-oriented knowledge point with limited direct bedside application, so retain Landmark and City Analogies as background academic context rather than a clinical decision trigger.
This question tests general knowledge, a component often included in the preliminary sections of nursing entrance examinations to assess a candidate's overall awareness and reasoning skills.
A broad general knowledge base can aid in better communication and building rapport with patients from diverse cultural and geographical backgrounds.
What if the question was 'Leaning Tower = ?'? The answer would be Pisa (a city in Italy), following the same landmark-to-city relationship.

How to Approach the Question

First, identify the relationship between the first pair of words: 'Eiffel tower' and 'Paris'.
Recognize that the Eiffel Tower is a famous monument located in the city of Paris.
The relationship is therefore 'Landmark is to City'.
Apply this same relationship to the second part of the analogy: 'Big ben clock tower' is to '?'.
Recall or determine the city where the Big Ben clock tower is located.
Select the option that correctly names this city.
