Select the option having similar relationship among words as in given words. Correspondent : News : Newspaper

Appeared in: RRB Staff Nurse Mumbai-2015

Explanation

The question establishes a relationship of 'Worker : Raw Material : Final Product'.
A Correspondent (worker) gathers News (raw material/content) which is then published in a Newspaper (final product).
The option 'Mason : Cement : Construction' perfectly mirrors this relationship.
A Mason is the worker, Cement is the raw material they use, and Construction is the final product of their labor.

Option A: This option describes the components of travel, not a process of creation. A road is a path, a vehicle is a tool for movement, and a destination is an endpoint.
Option B: This option describes a natural phenomenon (part of the water cycle). It lacks the essential element of a 'worker' or 'agent' actively creating something.
Option C: While this option includes a worker (Farmer) and what they produce (Crops), the final term 'Food' is too general. A newspaper is a specific final product, whereas 'food' is a broad category. A more analogous option would be something like 'Farmer : Wheat : Bread'.

Visual 1: No visuals are required for this question as it is based on verbal reasoning and logic.
