The following question, consist of two words each that have a certain relationship to each other, followed by four lettered pairs of words. Select the lettered pair that has the same relationship as the original pair of words: River : Ocean

Child : School
Lane : Road
Book : Library
Cloth : Body

The correct answer is: A. Child : School

A river is a large natural stream of water flowing in a channel to the sea, a lake, or another river. An ocean is a large body of salt water that covers much of the Earth’s surface.

A child is a young human being below the age of puberty. A school is an institution where children are educated.

The relationship between “river” and “ocean” is that a river is a smaller body of water that flows into an ocean. The relationship between “child” and “school” is that a child is a young person who is educated at a school.

The other options are incorrect because:

  • A lane is a narrow road, while a road is a wider path for vehicles to travel on.
  • A book is a written or printed work, while a library is a building or room where books are kept.
  • Cloth is a material made from fibers, while a body is the physical structure of a person or animal.
