If PAPER is related to WOOD, then what is the second part of the analogy?
Appeared in: AIIMS CRE, SNO-2024
Explanation
- The core relationship in the pair 'PAPER : WOOD' is 'Finished Product : Raw Material'.
- Paper is the product manufactured from wood, which serves as the raw material.
- The pair 'Glass : Sand' perfectly mirrors this relationship.
- Glass is a product created by melting sand (specifically silica sand) at high temperatures.
Why Other Options Were Wrong
- Option B: This pair does not represent a 'Product : Raw Material' relationship. Metal is a natural element typically extracted from ores mined from the earth; it is not manufactured from water.
- Option C: This is an incorrect relationship. Plastic is a synthetic polymer derived from petrochemicals (fossil fuels), not from air.
- Option D: This pair does not fit the 'Product : Raw Material' pattern. Cloth is made from fibers like cotton, wool, or polyester, not from stone.

- Visual 1: No visual is required for this type of abstract reasoning question.
Clinical Relevance
- Nursing practice connection: This is primarily an exam-oriented knowledge point with limited direct bedside application, so retain Word Analogy (Product to Raw Material Relationship) as background academic context rather than a clinical decision trigger.
- While not a clinical question, analogy-solving skills are fundamental to a nurse's critical thinking.
- Nurses must often draw parallels between a patient's symptoms and known disease patterns, which is a form of analogical reasoning.
- This skill helps in recognizing subtle changes in a patient's condition by comparing their current state to previous states or to textbook cases.
How to Approach the Question
- First, identify the specific relationship between the two words in the given pair (PAPER and WOOD).
- Recognize that paper is the finished product, and wood is the raw material used to make it. The relationship is 'Product : Raw Material'.
- Next, examine each of the answer choices to find a pair of words that has the exact same relationship.
- Evaluate 'Glass : Sand'. Glass is the product, and sand is the raw material. This matches the original pair's logic.
- Systematically eliminate the other options by identifying their incorrect relationships (e.g., 'Metal : Water' has no logical product/material connection).
