Question Statement:

The question below consists of a pair of related words followed by four pairs of words. Select the pair that best expresses the relation in the original pair: Gladiator : Arena

Options:

  • (A) dancer : stage
  • (B) commuter : train
  • (C) teacher : classroom
  • (D) lawyer : courtroom

Official Answer Key:

D

Step-by-Step Solution & Explanation

A gladiator fights/competes in an arena — the arena is the venue where their central, defining, often adversarial performance takes place. Among the options, a lawyer argues/contests cases in a courtroom, which mirrors the same adversarial-contest-in-a-designated-venue relationship most closely. Dancer:stage and teacher:classroom describe a performance/instructional venue but lack the adversarial-contest element; commuter:train is simply a mode of transport, not a venue for a defining activity. Option (D) is correct.
